Thunderstorm Calculator by Piet Jonas simplifies weather forecasting, allowing users to gauge thunderstorm likelihood based on various meteorological data inputs.

This application provides users with a functional tool for calculating the distance of a thunderstorm by measuring the interval between a flash of lightning and the subsequent sound of thunder.

Instructions for Use:

Upon observing a lightning strike, press the 'Lightning' button.
After hearing the thunder, press the 'Thunder' button.
Select the distance measurement by tapping to toggle between metric and imperial units.
The history list allows users to track whether the storm is approaching or receding.

Technical Background:

The application leverages the principle that light travels significantly faster than sound. By calculating the time elapsed between seeing the lightning and hearing the thunder, users can estimate the distance to the storm by multiplying this duration by the speed of sound.

Apple Watch Features:

A history list for tracking previous storms
Options for metric and imperial unit display
A 'Check' feature for quick access to help with setup
