Hi all The below comes from the app store. I am in South Africa, where no apps really warns against lightning strikes, unless you pay some monthly subscriptions for the local weather apps, not always so successful. This app is mostly accessible, and it does warn of lightning, within 30 km and then again within 10 km. It does work for me, most of the times. See then the below:
Weatherplaza is the new and improved international weather app created by Infoplaza. The app provides weather forecasts up to 14 days for over a million locations worldwide using the latest global weather data models available. Personalise your app by creating alerts for your favourite locations to make sure the weather doesn’t ruin your day. The app includes a 'live' rain alarm that works throughout a large part of the world and a lightning alarm that works worldwide. Why download the Weatherplaza app? - It's simple and easy to use - Extensive weather forecasting for over a million locations worldwide - Weather forecasts for the next 24 hours up to 14 days - Rain alarm and rain radar - Worldwide lightning alarm with 98% accuracy Weatherplaza uses the best weather data available, which is then analysed by professional meteorologists. This data is also used by major companies and governmental institutions. Our customers rely daily on accurate and reliable weather services so the Weatherplaza app has been created to help their daily activities become a little bit more predictable. Note: Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life. What’s New Version History 4 Jun 2020Version 1.2.7 Weatherplaza has a number of very cool, new updates! A completely new map has been added. In addition, a new data stream has been introduced for displaying live lightning and precipitation. Under the hood in effect, Weatherplaza has become a whole new app which is much faster and very smooth. We hope you are as enthusiastic about Weatherplaza's revamp as we are!

I installed and configured both the Weather Gods app and the app from the Weather channel. Living in Orlando, I knew we were going to get at least one thunder storm today. We did this evening when the sea breezes came together as is normal for this time of year. I also have a stand alone lightening detector that beeps when it detects a lightening strike. The problem with it is I can’t tell how far away the lightening is. Anyway, the stand alone detector went off about 8 times and unfortunately neither app reported a strike of lightening. A couple of them were really close cause the time between the detector going off and the thunder was only about two seconds. So for me, it is back to square one in finding an app that will report nearby lightening. Take care all -Steve -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
