      Hi,
      Where do you get lightning data for geopoints on your service? I did research on Copernicus weather data provider from their dataset ERA5 hourly data on single levels from 1979 to present(I guess it is your provider for all weather on website map) and found zero mentions about 'lightning' in this dataset.

        Lightning data is from ECMWF.
        Click the circled i in right bottom corner of your screen to know the provider.

        Copernicus provides only some data.

          Real time Lightning data providers are always displayed on the right-bottom side of the map.
          As seen on screenshot, there is one global provider (Blitzortung), then many local providers (generally big met offices like NOAA, BOM, etc.).
          For met offices, the provider depends on currently selected map coverage (office logo changes accordingly).
          All provider logos have hyperlinks,

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
