Lightning Tracker & Radar Map

Lightning Tracker & Radar Map helps you understand storm activity before it reaches you. See live lightning flashes, a radar map, storm alerts, saved places and forecast context in one focused weather safety app.

Powered by NOAA GOES-19 GLM satellite data, Lightning Tracker shows recent lightning flashes on a fast map, clusters active strikes into storm zones, and keeps the last update visible so you know when data is fresh. GOES-19 is strongest across the Americas, the Caribbean, the Atlantic and parts of western Europe. The app does not promise coverage everywhere.
