Lightning Tracker & Radar Map vs Lightcast

Lightning Tracker & Radar Map helps you understand storm activity before it reaches you. See live lightning, storm zones, alerts, saved places and forecast context in one focused weather safety app. Powered by NOAA GOES GLM and EUMETSAT MTG-I1 LI satellite data, Lightning Tracker shows recent lightning flashes on a fast map, clusters active strikes into storm zones, and helps you judge whether a storm is building, approaching or moving away. Coverage includes the Americas, Atlantic, Europe and Africa; features depend on supported coverage and data availability. USE IT BEFORE YOU GO OUT Check storms before golf, boating, hiking, school sports, outdoor work, road trips, camping, events and family time outside. Open the map, check the nearest activity, review the storm zone and decide whether to wait, move or seek shelter. LIVE LIGHTNING MAP Fresh strikes appear on the map with age and distance context. Zoom from a regional view down to the places that matter and keep watching as cells develop. STORM ZONES AND TRACKS Lightning clusters are grouped into storm zones so the map is easier to read. Track movement, intensity and projected paths instead of trying to interpret scattered strikes one by one. HISTORY AND FORECAST Premium unlocks 24-hour lightning history, a lightning heatmap and storm forecast context from NOAA SPC where available. ALERTS FOR SAVED PLACES Set an alert radius around the places you care about. Free users can monitor one saved place with basic storm data; Premium adds push alerts, wider radius, more saved places, advanced storm data and an ad-free experience. 30-30 SAFETY TIMER Use the built-in timer to follow the 30-minute lightning safety rule after nearby activity. It gives you a simple outdoor-safety checkpoint when the sky is changing fast. Lightning Tracker is built for one practical question: how close is the storm, where is it moving and is it time to get inside?

Lightcast tells you how much natural outdoor light is available right now and forecasts how it will change through the day. Using your location, Lightcast estimates illumination from the sun, moon, and cloud cover, then maps it into a clear visual forecast so you can see when conditions will be bright enough for your plans. Features: • See current and upcoming outdoor light levels across the next day • Find the time light will reach or fall below your chosen threshold • Adjust thresholds with presets like clear full moon, streetlight, readable, current light, or a custom value • Set photography-based thresholds from ISO, aperture, and shutter speed • Explore sun angle, moon angle and phase, cloud cover, and total light at any point in the forecast • Use the built-in Siri shortcut to ask for your current lightcast Great for walking, running, photography, commuting, early starts, and planning time outside with less guesswork. Location access is used to calculate local light conditions and forecast timings.
