Is binning the lightning distances really the best way to display that info?

Today’s release of Smart Weather Apps (v3.2) changes the way we present the lightning distances. Previously, each of the 14 possible values the lightning sensor returned were shown like this on the graph:

These same 14 values were displayed in the text parts of the app with five different values “<5km, <10km, <20km, <35km and >35km”.

As of today, we’re not doing that anymore. Instead, each value is presented (both in text and on the graph) as a range, centered on the value returned by the sensor, with roughly +/- 3km on either side, like this:
