Windy brings a real-time global lightning strikes tracking
-
yea non the less it brings a great chemtrail viewer also!!

I'm done with this website. Windy was a big fan of mine from 2017 to 2018. The Windy premium watermark is now very apparent on the map. It's no longer about the weather, but about money. I found Zoom Earth to be the next best thing for my weather needs.

Coverage? It's global!
still not working in BRASIL

I'm confused; I've had this feature on the free version for years (UK)
One thing I wonder though; I used to see rings propagating out to approximate where the thunder from a strike would be heard... I'm not seeing those any more.
Do I need to select something?
-
@koeio We are aware that the coverage in South America is worse at this moment, the coverage will improve in upcoming months.

@stonelaughter Lightnings are standardly in the free version and also circle animation was used again in version 40. At this moment version 40 is only in our web app and mobile apps will get it in a few weeks hopefully.

I also previously saw lightning on the map prior to this announcement and don't understand what's changed (even with the answer above).

@Nrbelex We changed the provider of data for this feature, since we consider Nowcast as a leader of the industry.

Got it—thanks!

@Korina
Please consider adding the ability to customize the lightning colour. White lightning on white (satellite) background is not very distinct.

@Gkikas-LGPZ Thank you for your suggestion, you are right that certain situations are less visible than others, especially in the satellite layer. I will forward this to colleagues for consideration.

@inAjet said in Windy brings a real-time global lightning strikes tracking:
Would you consider adding the ability to control the lightning layer separately from the radar/satellite layer? There may be times when you want to de-clutter the display and view radar/satellite data only, or view lightning data only to quickly locate the most active weather.
Any thoughts on this, @Ondřej-Šutera?
-
@inAjet Unfortunately, it is not in plans now.
