A new smartphone app
that can alert users to lightning strikes nearby has been developed in the US.The
app from WeatherBug, called Spark, tells you where the nearest lightning had
struck, based on data from the Total Lightning Network and your phone's GPS
location.
Users can also check
for lightning near locations such as the beach or the golf course you're hoping
to visit.To check for
lightning where your friends and loved ones are at a moment, users have to
simply zoom in on the radar map and press and hold their exact location to get
information on Spark lightning alerts and other key weather information.
The app detects both
lightning that hits the ground and the majority of lightning in the clouds that
you may not be able to see.Spark also provides detailed lightning information
and recommendations for when to seek shelter and when to stay alert.
