Lightning Storm Simulator generates dynamic thunderstorms with visual and sound feedback! Start the app and lightning will strike in front of your eyes, illuminating the whole room. For extra realism, use with speakers and LED flash. Features: • LED and screen lightning visualization • Dynamic simulator parameters • Custom background sound ambients • Custom lightning color • Raindrop visualization • Presets • Timer Background ambients: • Light rain • Pouring rain • Rain on window • Rain on car Background ambient effects: • Campfire • Howling wind • Birds chirping • Night owl • Frogs • Crickets in the evening • Cat purring • Wind chimes - Works with Bluetooth external speakers and headphones - Works offline - no network connection required Storms can be generated using multiple parameters such as background ambient sound, thunder frequency, color of the lightning as well as duration of the lightning. Lightning is shown using screen colors (more realistic effect but requires darker environment) or with LED flash (amazingly powerful effect). You can set the color and duration of thunder strikes, the background sounds and set the timer. If you prefer only sounds to be heard, you can disable lightning or even the other way around. New storm background sounds as well as thunder sound effects are being constantly added. Why use Lightning Storm Simulator? - Insomnia therapy (drift to sleep easily with the soothing rain sounds) - Stress therapy (relax and forget about your worries - thunder sounds will make you feel safe and secure) - Fun (playing with different settings and producing awesome lightning in your dark room) - Meditation (focus and mindfulness, reduce stress) - Pet care (desensitize/calm your dog or cat to noise and scary sounds—start quietly and gradually increase the volume in later sessions) - Tinnitus relief (storm sounds calm the ringing in your ears)

Vart ska ni åka i helgen? Väderkollen visar vädret för flera orter sida vid sida. Hemma, stugan, och dit ni funderar på att åka, allt i samma tabell. Slipp byta ort fram och tillbaka för att lista ut var solen är. Två prognoser, inte en De flesta väderappar visar en prognos och låter den se säker ut. Väderkollen visar två, från SMHI och från MET Norway, som är källan bakom Yr. Säger de samma sak är prognosen att lita på. Säger de olika vet du att vädret är osäkert, vilket är minst lika värt att veta. Det här finns i appen • Jämför upp till fyra orter sida vid sida, dygn för dygn • Tio dygn framåt, med båda källorna i varje rad • Timme för timme i tre dygn, sedan sex timmar i taget • SMHI:s officiella vädervarningar för exakt din plats, inte bara ditt län • Soluppgång och solnedgång, och midnattssol eller polarnatt där det gäller • Över 14 000 orter, stadsdelar och grannskap i Sverige, plus Norge, Danmark, Finland och Baltikum • Fungerar utan täckning: senast hämtade prognos finns kvar Ingen inloggning, inget konto
