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.

@tz Thanks for the suggestion I play around with to see what settings look best. Don

@tz I followed your link but can't see where you can control the display of wind attitude can you provide more information on how to adjust that setting Thanks

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