Lightning Tracker

Lightning Tracker & Radar Map helps you understand storm activity before it reaches you. See live lightning flashes, a radar map, storm alerts, saved places and forecast context in one focused weather safety app.

Powered by NOAA GOES GLM and EUMETSAT MTG-I1 LI satellite data, Lightning Tracker shows recent lightning flashes on a fast map, clusters active strikes into storm zones, and keeps the last update visible so you know when data is fresh. Coverage includes the Americas, the Atlantic, Europe, Africa and nearby oceans, with detection depending on live satellite availability and local storm activity.
