About this app

Lightning Alerts is a live lightning tracker and storm map with nearby alerts 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 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.
