barometers
Weather prediction instruments
Barometers is the plural of barometer, an instrument that measures atmospheric pressure.
Because falling pressure often signals approaching storms, barometer extends to anything that indicates trends or shifts: Consumer spending is a barometer of economic health.
The polls serve as barometers of public opinion.
