Barometer World after much research and skilled work built a complete working
copy of the famous 'Leech barometer more commonly known as 'The Tempest Prognosticator'
First exhibited by the inventor in 1851 at The Great Exhibition in London.
designed in the style of Indian temple architecture, it is a complex and glorious
extravaganza to predict storms using leeches! This gold plated exhibit of
Victorian eccentricity was exhibited at Merton in our exhibition (now closed)
. It is almost certainly the most bizarre example of unusual weather forecasting
that has been produced.
