General Barometer Information

The center knob on the barometer's front moves the set hand. Use it to mark or place over the location of the black inside hand at the time you set the barometer. This outside set hand will then serve as a reference marker so you can easily see if pressure is rising, falling or steady.

Your barometer's reading may not exactly coincide with a broadcast due to difference in location, time of reading and other factors. To set the pressure reading to your location turn the small brass set screw located on the backside of the movement.  Use a small screwdriver or sewing machine screwdriver to adjust the indicator needle to your correct pressure reading.  Turn it slow while facing the dial indicator hand.  Keep in mind that your barometer reads 12-24 hours in advance for pressure changes and rain or shine.

 

The chart below illustrates how to interpret your barometer's inches of mercury reading. This provides a reasonably accurate forecast for the next 12 to 24 hours.

The words, "stormy", "rain", "change", "fair", "dry", etc. are traditional carry overs from the days when weather forecasting was less of a science, and should not be used in predicting weather changes.

Do not expect large changes in the position of the indicating hand. Normal daily changes may be in a range of .02 to .10 of an inch on the barometer scale.  Changes in pressure readings will be of greater magnitude in winter months than in summer and will  also depend on location and altitude.
