      Hi,
      I love the app - very cool and visual with a lot of data!

      I discovered that when you tap the screen to drop a pin in thunderstorm display, the units seem to be wrong. I think it should be mm/m^2 instead of km^2.

      Check it out on the image attached.

      Keep up the great work! You're helping me a lot with planning for mountaineering trips!
      Best,
      Andi

        @AndiDuen Hi, thank you for your message. Unfortunately our units are right, about the numbers it is basically estimate from mathematics model. The more important in thunderstorm display are colours.

          In Thunderstorms layer, l/km2 means lightning per square kilometer.
          The amount of rain is in mm or in inches, but never mm/m2. Sometime one uses l/m2 (liter per square meter).
          10mm=10l/m2
