Most of us just pick up our smart devices or check out the weather channel when we need to know what’s happening outside before we leave. If this is just too pedestrian for you, then the Fifth Element is the gadget you need. This weather station is your multipass to atmospheric knowledge.

This post will contain as many references as I can make to the film so if you haven’t seen the movie yet, you should go right now and watch it. With a name like the Fifth Element, you’re expecting it to be super green but it’s not . . .related to that all. It will not protect you from a devastating darkness. It will only tell you the weather but good news, you don’t have to go to Egypt.

The machine includes a clock, barometer, thermometer, hygrometer, and when all elements combine big badda boom. Or really you can just tell what the weather is going to be like outside. It’s made from over 500 individual components and is made of stainless steel, brass, glass, and there’s one alien made of brass. A beautiful weather machine for your coffee table.
