      To the people at Windy,

      I live in Western Queensland, Australia.
      I have a Windy Premium subscription, as weather is a big part of our lives.
      I have a home wireless network using our satellite broadband link(Skymesh), as we have no mobile phone coverage.

      In the past week or so, BOTH my laptops stopped displaying Lightning on the Radar OR the Satellite/Radar pages.
      But the Android phone app still DOES display lightning for the same pages, over the same area.

      I've re-booted the laptops, to no effect.
      Yes; I've checked that the 'Show Lightning' option is selected.
      Both are running Mozilla Firefox, with the latest patches.
      Both are running Windows 10, though.
      I cant find any settings that should affect this, and certainly none that I've changed in the past week or so.

      I saw last week, that there were feed issues for some parts of the world, and that Australia was one of those areas affected.
      But I'm no longer seeing those warnings, so not sure if thats related.

      Very frustrating; Lightning and Radar are important for our Summer bushfire watch.

        Seen from Europe, lightning is available over Australia, both in Weather radar and Satellite layers, in browser version, Safari or Chrome.

        Hope you get it back soon.

          Lightning is back this evening!

          I'd tried another browser and clearing all cookies from one Firefox browser through today, with no effect.

          And late this afternoon, BOTH laptops have their lightning overlays back on!

          Big thanks to the unknown party that resolved this; had a bushfire last night, and lack of lightning overlay was sorely missed,

          Cheers,

          Rod.
