Weatherglass :: Weatherglass (n.) An instrument to indicate the state of the atmosphere, especially changes of atmospheric pressure, and hence changes of weather, as a barometer or baroscope..

Hygrometer :: Hygrometer (n.) An instrument for measuring the degree of moisture of the atmosphere.

Fog :: Fog (n.) Watery vapor condensed in the lower part of the atmosphere and disturbing its transparency. It differs from cloud only in being near the ground, and from mist in not approaching so nearly to fine rain. See Cloud..
