About Flash To Bang
This application is based on the method "Flash to bang" from where is, the name.
This method calculates the distance from you to the lightning ,based on time between lightning and the sound on current lightning.
The time is based on speed of sound in air, but it depends a lot from air temperature. The temperature range for selection in the application is between [1;46] Celsius or [33;121] Fahrenheit.
