CLEAR ABOUT THE DATA
Newer strike markers appear brighter while older reports fade. Data age and service status remain visible, so you can tell when information is fresh, delayed, or unavailable.
IMPORTANT
ThunderTracker is a supplemental weather-awareness tool. Lightning data, alerts, and notifications may be delayed, incomplete, or unavailable. A map with no reported strikes—and a timer reaching zero—does not mean conditions are safe or provide an official all-clear. Always follow official weather alerts, local guidance, and your own judgment.
Lightning data is provided by Vaisala Xweather.
