The Storm Glass can forecast different weather conditions in the following manner:

1. The liquid is clear: sunny and bright
2. There are crystals at the bottom: thick air, frost
3. The liquid is dim with small stars: thunderstorms
4. There are large flakes: heavy air, overcast and snow during the winter
5. Crystal threads form on the upper part of the liquid: windy weather
6. There are small dots: fog, damp weather
7. Flakes rise and remain at the top: wind in the upper air regions
8. There are small stars: during a sunny winter day, it will snow in one or two days
9. The higher the crystals rise, the colder it will be during winter
