Dutch Vintage Barometer

Dutch vintage barometer written: Storm Veranderlijk Bestendig

A barometer with the indications “Storm,” “Changeable,” and “Settled” is typical of the period from the 19th century to the early 20th century.

During that time, barometers with such terms were popular for household use. They were designed to be easy to understand without requiring specific meteorological knowledge. The words reflect the general weather conditions associated with certain air pressure values:

– Storm: Low air pressure, often associated with bad weather.
– Changeable: Fluctuating air pressure, indicating unpredictable weather.
– Settled: Stable air pressure, often associated with steady, good weather.
