Product Description
Black Forest Weather House with Thermometer and Oompah Band
Before weather forecasting was common, weather houses like this traditional Black Forest weather chalet were popular. When the air is moist (high humidity), a fiber string inside the house expands and lets the man come out of the door indicating bad weather. If the air is dry (low humidity), the fiber string shrinks, pulling the man in and letting the woman come out of the house, indicating good weather. A thermometer with both Fahrenheit and Celsius scale is mounted on the center of the weather house. Hand made in the Black Forest of Germany.
