Lightning Tracker vs RainbowReporter

Lightning Alerts is a live lightning tracker and storm map for nearby strike awareness, powered by enterprise-grade lightning data. Open the map without creating an app account. Check recent strike activity before travel, golf, hiking, boating, surfing, fishing, open-water activities, or everyday weather planning. The map can show both ground-reaching and intracloud strikes. Ground mode helps filter cloud flashes so busy storms are easier to read. What you can see: - Live map of recent strike activity - Nearby alerts for your location or a saved place - No app account required to open the map - Ground-reaching and intracloud strike types - Ground mode to reduce cloud-flash noise - Closest-strike distance, age, direction, and street context - Strike strength, polarity, and detailed strike type - Polarity filter: show only positive or only negative ground and cloud strikes - Strength filter and Find > Strongest in view - Find > Strike history: the last 7 days around your location or saved place, with storm replays - Camera aim: where to point your camera and how far to tilt it for red sprites above a distant storm - Weather radar with strikes on the same map - Save one place you care about - Clear controls for alerts, ads, privacy, and analytics - Optional monthly Pro subscription: no ads and unlimited storm replays Use Lightning Alerts before you head outside, while storms are nearby, or when you want a clearer view of activity around a place. Choose the strike filter, inspect the closest strike, and use notifications to return to the live map when activity changes. Photographers and sprite chasers can show only positive ground strikes, which are less common and often stronger. Tap a strike to see its distance and direction. Lightning Alerts is a weather awareness tool, not an emergency warning system. Always follow official weather alerts, local rules, and venue safety guidance.

REAL-TIME RAINBOW LIKELIHOOD RainbowReporter reports the likelihood of seeing a rainbow based on the sun's position in the sky and your local weather. Rainbow sightings depend on unpredictable conditions changing minute to minute. Treat every estimate as a starting point for looking up, not a guarantee. REPORT A SIGHTING Spotted one? Report it and include an optional photo and note. People nearby can get notified right away so they can step outside and catch it too. Prefer to log it quietly without notifying anyone? You can do that too. BROWSE NEARBY AND PAST SIGHTINGS See what other people have reported near you, or look back through your own history of sightings. Like a report, or tap "I Also Saw This" to confirm you saw the same rainbow, letting reporters know their sighting helped someone else catch it. Check out the Map page for a visual representation of sightings. STAY IN THE LOOP Set your current location, home, work, and one more custom spot, each with its own adjustable radius, and get notified whenever a rainbow is reported nearby.
