Thunderstorm (or lightning flash density) forecast (ECMWF - ICON)

[Gkikas LGPZ]

I noticed that you included lightning forecasts from ECMWF (well done!!!)
but you are not providing ICON thunderstorm forecasts any more!
Am I correct?

@Gkikas-LGPZ That is correct. We think that ECMWF lightning forecast is much more precise.

@tomslavkovsky
My opinion:
As ECMWF lightning forecast is a new product,
I think it would be wise to have also ICON thunderstorms
for making a comparison.
Its too early to decide that "ECMWF is much more precise".
