@Gkikas-LGPZ I really don't know if the lighting strike data is for free. I'll send a email to the developer asking them about that.

I've finally found the source of the lightning strike map for South America: http://wwlln.net/new/map/

To get the data, Windy's ADM need to get contact to:

Prof Robert Holzworth, Earth and Space Sciences, University of Washington

@TomSlavkovsky
Option #3 ;-)

@Gkikas-LGPZ

That site "raiosonline" is a pure trash! Hahaha. Several lightning strike events are fake.

@KatherinesMethow
Unfortunately there isn't coverage from that source on my country (Brasil) :(

@Gkikas-LGPZ
At my area yes it's in real time. Every single lighting strike over my city it's shown about 5 minutes later.

@Gkikas-LGPZ
Oh, that's awful!
I'd say it'd be better to enrich more lightning strike map source than only get data from Blitzortung.org as shown on http://weather.wdtinc.com/imap/imaplite/?MAPID=10937&CLIENTID=20485

That's really strange to say that I don't see any lightning symbol over any Brazil's land area :(

How about to show lighting spots on the map like this: http://weather.wdtinc.com/imap/imaplite/?MAPID=10937&CLIENTID=20485
