I would also stop walking and seek shelter during thunderstorms in particular, although I would have to contemplate that I might do the same during more severe snowstorms, not that I have walked in anything like those conditions at home or on the Camino. Noting that the Pilgrim Office already helps pilgrims with this advice, I'm not sure what marginal value there is to a weather app in the face of their experience. The first of these is crossing the Pyrenees, where I have walked Route Valcarlos, the first time on advice from the SJPP Pilgrim Office that the prevailing conditions made it dangerous to use Route Napoleon. There are two other circumstances where I might get some value from this, and both go to whether I would make a decision to stop walking and seek shelter. I presume they needed to make a decision about what gear they were going to need in their day pack, and what could be sent forward, As someone who has carried their pack on every camino so far, this isn't a particular concern for me, but I can see it as a reason to know about the weather forecast. The specific time that I saw others keen to catch the weather forecast was when it later became obvious they were having their main bags transported. However, thinking about the circumstances where I have seen people fixated on getting the forecast, I would admit there might be value for some people in having an accurate forecast.
