StormVue NG is a Flash applet. Android Phones no longer support Flash. Click on the blue question mark in the lower left corner to view user help documentation. If you have an iPhone or iPad, you will need the Puffin Browser. Click on the iPhone/iPad button above under Lightning Viewers for more information. For Android phones, SaskLightning recommends the free App Mobile Storm.

To calculate your latitude & longitude location for the alarm feature, go to Lat - Long Finder. For Saskatoon, you can use 52.2 Lat & -106.6 Long.

SaskLightning cannot guarantee the accuracy of the lightning detector. The accuracy of a Boltek detector is determined by many factors - placement of the detector, electromagnetic interference, distance from strokes, storm intensity, etc. Out to about 400Km, a Boltek detector is surprisingly accurate. Beyond that, it can sense direction and intensity but usually gets distance incorrect.

Seek proper shelter well in advance of approaching lightning whenever possible. It is important to remember that thunderstorms can develop quickly and with little warning. Lightning can be present in significant amounts even when NexStorm is not tracking any structured thunderstorms.

Environment Canada has a good page discussing lightning safety. A link to this page is provided under Quick Links to the left. They also have a pdf document available discussing Severe Summer Weather. I highly recommend you read that document.
