Lightning Tracker: Every Strike, Live

lightningmap.app Observed source

Editorial interest 83/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A real-time lightning map that turns NOAA satellite detections into storm views, proximity alerts, and rewindable weather history.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-03 issue.

Field notes

The service combines satellite lightning detections with precipitation radar, proximity calculations, storm hotspots, and historical playback rather than presenting a single static warning layer. Its stated data cycle is 20 seconds for lightning and two minutes for MRMS radar; the page also limits the alert radius to 186 miles and describes flash-location precision as roughly 5 to 10 km. Coverage follows the GOES-East footprint.
