      I noticed that today afternoon in many places in Greece
      when in "rain, thunder" layer
      shows heavy tstm without rain ammount!
      even in 3hr period.

      If I switch to 1 hr forecast, I still see tstm with no rain.

      I know it maybe is related to this:

      but still looks strange the "heavy thunderstorm" sign.

      Please investigate it.

      P.S. Here in Greece, with a long lasting heatwave
      and massive wildfires burning for days
      a heavy tstm would be a gift from heaven.

        Hmmm
        I think I found the reason ...
        Tstms icons show up
        if lightning activity is forecast (no matter the rain amount)
