Think it must be everyone's favorite. There is nothing else that comes
close to it.

Available on Android too.

I have had it open (the app) all evening on my S4 mini device :-)

Yes it's a brilliant site. Thunderstorms have been sitting just west
of Brest for some considerable time now, with little movement. There
are now some signs of them edging NNE.


It's now a young MCS with a developing circular cloud shield. The
situation is de-stabilising all the time as the upper trough overruns
the high theta-w plume. Blitzortnung is going ballistic now with new
cells popping up to NE of Brest MCS and elsewhere. It's promising to be
a memorable night, but I'll be powering down my PC as soon as the
strikes get within 30km.
