About Spark™

Spark™ Your Personal Lightning Detector

WeatherBug’s exclusive feature turns your device into a real-time lightning detector and safety status indicator — so you know exactly how close danger is, before it gets too close.

How Spark™ Works

Follow Mode: Uses your device’s location to track lightning risk wherever you go.
Fixed Location Mode: Monitors a set location of your choice — home, office, ballfield, campsite.
Precise Distance: Get the exact distance between you (or your chosen location) and the nearest detected lightning strike.

Why It Matters

Lightning moves fast and strikes farther from a storm than most people expect. Spark™ replaces guesswork with the exact distance — so you always know when it’s time to head inside.
