Lightning Alerts

Live lightning tracker map, nearby alerts, and ground/cloud filters. No login.

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
• 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 that removes ads

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.

Lightning Alerts is a weather awareness tool, not an emergency warning system. Always follow official weather alerts, local rules, and venue safety guidance.
