Recent lightning strikes around the islands.
Sample content — not an operational product
The lightning map is not yet published from the GMS forecast system. The figures on this page are illustrative and must not be used for any weather, marine or safety decision.
The lightning map will appear here once the detection feed is connected.
Each mark is a detected lightning flash; brighter marks are more recent. Lightning within about 15 km means the storm is close enough to be dangerous.
Satellite lightning mappers see flashes over the ocean as well as land, so storms can be tracked long before they reach us.
