Lightning
-
First of all thank you for the new feature Lightning. We have used in Greece and found it very usefull.
There is a keyfigure in top left name Lightnings per KM2.
Is that per minute ?

@carlager Hi, what key figure do you exactly mean? Can you send the screenshot so I can better understand your question?

New to the chat scene, so please advise if I should start a new thread. Seemed appropriate to use this one.
Same as Carlager, I can't express how much I appreciate the lightning overlay that your site has provided for years. I am an offshore oil and gas pilot in the tropics, and lightning with the satellite view beyond the radar range is invaluable. Your composite radar imagery completely trounces the Aussie BOM radar images that pilots here default to (I'm a seppo that loved Intellicast back in the US 20 years ago).
Your recent change from Blitzortnung to Nowcast is causing some confusion as it shows much more lightning, but with no actual benefit. Where Blitz didn't show all strikes, it didn't show strikes where there were no storms, or even clouds. Nowcast seems spastic with open air strikes and saturates an image with strikes that obscures the radar or satellite image. Not really a complaint, but an observation that more isn't necessarily better.
You guys ROCK, so keep it up.

@stu_byrd Hi, thank you for all words about the app, we really appreciate feedbacks like yours. According to the source of lightnings, we made a research before the change and we thing that the Nowcast provides most reliable data on the market now.
