Feature request: Add lightning strike picture maps #19

Closed mohicks closed 5 years ago

mohicks commented 7 years ago

Hi,

Great app. I often also want to see the lightning strike map as well. Any chance that this could be added? Maybe separate item on the drop down where you pick the radar station? Or maybe a separate button on the main weather page at the top, beside the clock-like image (lightning bolt?)?

To be more clear, here's the provincial map for Ontario:

Is the data for this somewhere in here? It is hard to pull a map off of a webpage, but the EC datamart may have the data. If you can find it, it will be easier to make this happen (although really, there are problems with new versions of Android that I need to fix before adding features...):

I couldn't find it. I did send an e-mail to one of the e-mails at ec.gc.ca to ask about it.
