Lightning API · Live Data
Every strike, every state, since day one.
All-time lightning strikes recorded by state, from the same historical database every Lightning API plan queries against. Updated continuously as new strikes are ingested — not a one-time snapshot.
Showing 48 of 50 states. Alaska and Hawaii aren't shown yet — outside our current coverage area, not a data or counting bug.
