Lightning not detected nearby

I’ve had my Tempest up for almost a week now, and have a new appreciation for all the weather data I’m now seeing.

I live in an area that doesn’t get a lot of storm activity, so when we get lightning and thunder, it’s a bit of an event.

We had 3 lightning strikes this morning according to Windy about 12km away from my station, but nothing got detected. What range should the Tempest have when it comes to the lightning sensor?

it goes up to 40 km, but the sensor used, doesn’t detect all the strikes. Also the tempest might suppress some strikes if none are expected.
