Want a simple way to check the weather each day? Stare into your coffee cup (before you pour the milk). If you see bubbles floating toward the rim of the cup, it means that the pressure is low and you should look for clouds and stormy weather. If the bubbles float toward the center of the cup, it means that the pressure is high and you can expect fair weather.

Keep in mind that bubbles will always float to the lowest point on the surface of coffee. So, with high pressure, the center of the coffee is pushed down and the surface of the drink is low in the center and high on the sides. When pressure is low, the center rises relative to the edge of the coffee.

So there you go, now go and impress the kids.

Really? Or are you joking Jo...?

Nope it's not a joke. I got this from the Learning Center.

Oh goodness, you think I'd know that studying for my Weather merit badge. Well, if you don't learn a fact every day, that day is wasted.

The United States would be 10 times better if a woman was president.

Does this work for any other beverages?

Cool! She could try her experiment with the information listed in the first post and then she could try the same experiment using tea and hot cocoa, etc. and see if the results come out the same. BTW, please give a big hug to Taylor from her Auntie Jo.
