Live lightning strikes now available on our website

We've been showing live lightning in our mobile apps for a few months now. Starting today, you can also watch them on the web (on radar layer). The locations where lightning has struck are indicated by lightning icons and animations. On the radar, you can easily see which core is producing lightning and its frequency. Lightning detection occurs in real time using detectors from the Blitzortung.org network.

Additionally, you can receive notifications about nearby lightning strikes through the mobile app. This way, you don't have to constantly monitor the app; the notification will appear directly on your phone's screen. This allows you to learn about the storm faster and find safe shelter promptly.
