The weather rock or weather stone is a humour display that pokes fun at the intricate technology used in modern weather forecasts, as well as the fact that their accuracy is less than perfect. A rock is typically hung from a tripod and accompanied by a sign indicating how to read it. A portable example of such a display, "the famous Maine Weather Stone" of Audubon Camp, Hog Island, was described in 1982.

  • Ein Wettervorhersagestein (auch als Wetterstein bezeichnet) ist ein humorvolles Gerät zur Wettervorhersage. Er besteht aus einem an einem Seil oder einer Kette aufgehängten Stein, neben dem sich eine Tafel mit (meist trivialen) Erklärungen wie „nasser Stein = es regnet“ befindet. Gelegentlich ist diese Tafel künstlerisch gestaltet. Wettersteine sind mitunter Bestandteile von Gartenschauen, Parks und Wanderwegen. (de)
  • 날씨를 알려주는 돌 또는 날씨 돌멩이는 현대 일기 예보에 사용된 복잡한 기술과 정확성이 완벽하지 않다는 사실을 재미있게 보여주는 조형물이다. 일반적으로 삼각대에 매달려 있으며, 읽는 방법을 나타내는 표시가 붙어 있다. (ko)

  • 天気石(てんきいし)またはお天気石(おてんきいし)(英語: weather rock または 英語: weather stone)は、石の様子を観察すると、その日の天気がわかってしまうという石である。天気を予報する石ではない。現代の天気予報に使われている複雑な技術と、その精度が完璧でないことを揶揄するユーモアのある芸術作品ともいえる。石は通常、三脚に吊るされており、その読み方を説明するための看板が添えられている。 (ja)
