Great, i just think you should add thunderstorm symbols ⚡ in the precipitation like you did in ECMWF

@leo-idt Hello, what layer do you mean please? There should be no difference.

@korina ECMWF w warstwie deszcz burza ma blyskawice a ICON I GFS nie ma

Korina

@przemo1986 @leo-idt Hello, the reason is that ECMWF contains forecast for thunderstorms, therefore we display them. But the rest of the models does not have this data, so we do not display thunderstorm symbols.

ICON Global update not working last updated 1 day ago. Icon EU updates every 6 hours normally.

Korina

@przemo1986 Hello, ICON global should be updated within an hour. Thank you.

@korina I see that in the new ICON model there is a graphic of the storm in the detailed forecast. However, in the ICON -EU model it was not available that season or was it corrected?

@przemo1986, there was a bug with visualization of lightning on the map. The issue is corrected now.
I would recommend clearing your browser's cache and checking the map again – https://7labs.io/tips-tricks/clear-site-specific-cookies-cache.html#Clear_cookies_cache_and_site_data_for_a_specific_website_in_Chrome.

@petra-pik
in the application in the detailed forecast, it was also fixed for the Icon Eu model because only there was such a problem in it

przemo1986

@petra-pik I do not see flashes in the baseline forecast as it does in the ICON global model. the meteogram shows conventional precipitation but no lightning in the forecast. Neither on the website nor in the application. The problem occurs in Icon eu models in the icon global range is fine.

@przemo1986 ICON model doesn't have lightning visualized, only ECMWF does.

przemo1986

@petra-pik I meant that the ICON EU model does not have a storm indication in the base forecast or in the meteogram and ICON GLOBAL is as shown in the attached picture.

@przemo1986 there are no thunderstorms forecasted for Europe right now. This might be the reason why you don't see the lightning symbol.
We will investigate once there. will be more thunderstorms.
