\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“The Modern Inventor” has written a great Instructable<\/a> which helps you to create your very own weather forecasting lamp called the Storm Glass<\/em>. The lamp, which has been given the ability to simulate lightning, fog, rain and thunder using off-the-shelf parts is partly a glass tube and partly 3D-printed and houses a Raspberry Pi Zero. The Weather Underground<\/a>\u00a0API is used to read weather conditions from a location and then the weather is simulated inside the lamp. This really is pretty nifty, and quite beautiful. Take a look at the tutorial here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
