The storm was there for the siblings in the EP 7 Teaparty also. Plus apparently someone in Rokkenjima Prime solved the epitaph and there was a storm on Prime too. And all Battler had to notice was that the lion was turned into a different direction. Erika noticed it as soon as he pointed it/looked where he was looking so I guess it could be seen easily enough.
Plus Battler's lie to the audience was explained by Battler himself. In Ep 5 he's an observer and has the right to interpret things as he wants and let his interpretation be heard. If he saw something that reminded him of Kinzo, although he realized it wasn't Kinzo, he can still pretend he saw Kinzo.
Though everything is odd about this Battler, from the way he suddently get interested in the epitaph so much he actually solves it, how he figures what's Kinzo's homeland (there's no scene in which the adults tell him and he previously didn't know), how he agrees to take part to such a cruel plot against Natsuhi.
