Thunderstorms layer displays wrong rainfall units
-
This (see image) should show l/m² (litres per square metre which is equal to mm used elsewhere on Windy) I believe.
-
@TildalWave
l/km2 means lightning per sq km
Nothing to do with rain amount. -
@idefix37 Gotcha, but then the use of l (litre) as one of the SI symbols for volume is confusing. I don't think there's a SI symbol for lightning but ⚡︎ should make it much clearer what that number is meant to represent as there's no alt text explaining it on neither the pin drop flag nor the density scale.

I agree, it’s not clear for someone who don’t know these units are concerning lightning.
It is mentioned in the description of overlays in the FAQ (See Thunderstorms)
https://community.windy.com/topic/3361/description-of-weather-overlays?sort=oldest_to_newestUsing the lightning symbol you show could be a good idea.
