<![CDATA[Real-time lightning strikes on Windy.com]]>A few months ago, Windy became a contributor to the great community project www.blitzortung.org

Imagine weather fans who buy and install their own lightning detector, just to create a free creative commons map of real-time lightning strikes.

And now, the strikes are on! They are just on the web version for now; but iOS and Android apps will follow soon.

So enjoy the new feature!

P.S. Blitzortung is currently looking for new contributors in Africa to improve the coverage and data quality.

You just need to select Wind in the main menu and then to adjust the slider altitude to 250hPa or 300hPa. That’s all.
