Care
This product should be handled with care and kept out of reach of children. Should the product break, causing the liquid to leak or spill, avoid contact with eyes and skin. In case of accidental ingestion, seek professional assistance or contact poison control center immediately. Keep away from heat, sparks, or other sources of ignition.
Notes
Place the Storm Cloud in an area of your home that is not subject to sudden temperature changes. Keep it away from heating or cooling vents and out of direct sunlight for the best results.
When you receive the Storm Cloud, it will be in the state of disruption and may take a week or more to settle into its new home. When the liquid is clear, it is ready to go.
Slowly, as the Storm Cloud adjusts to the room temperature, white matter will begin to appear out of the solution. Please allow 24 hours for the Storm Cloud to settle. If you notice after a few hours that the white mass is at the top of the cloud, shake gently and set the Storm Cloud back on its stand. Leave the Storm Cloud undisturbed and it will start to predict the weather. Try to avoid picking up and shaking the Storm Cloud so it can get comfortable and work its best.

Storm Cloud not changing
I received the Storm Cloud as a gift for Christmas. I followed the directions on how to make it clear, but it never became clear and it's always stayed exactly the same since Christmas even though I've moved it to different areas of the house.

Never changes
This storm cloud never changes appearance. We reset per directions, no change. Very disappointed.

Great idea, but water turned yellow...looks awful now
Bought 2 of these as gifts, one for my weather-loving father-in-law and one for my cloud-loving daughter. Sadly the liquid in both have turned yellow and aren't really nice to look at anymore. Disappointing!
Response from merchant

This is cool
This is a cool item, and makes a great paper weight. I wish I had known that I would have needed a hairdryer in order to set it up, because I do not own one. But it's pretty nonetheless.

Gift Exchange Hit!
I bought this years ago and love it. I bought it for a white elephant-esque gift exchange in November. It was a hit!

Cute but never reset after shipping
Was so exited for this as I love funky science gadgets. Despite following all the instructions, including using a hair dryer and letting it sit, it has never reset and constantly is in the same state with white crystals at the bottom. Just a fancy paperweight at this point. Disappointing.

Very cute but doesn't work
This makes a cute desk decoration, but it doesn't work to predict the weather. I followed the instructions about letting it settle and using a hair dryer to reset it after shipping but it hasn't done anything in a month.

Can someone post the weather differences here? I lost the paper so I don't know what the different looks of the cloud mean anymore.
