Lightning is one of the most common and deadly weather hazards. Mitigating risk is our passion. Delivering precision data is our solution.

Lightning is one of the most underrated weather hazards. It strikes the earth millions of times every year. What is risky about lightning is that a lot of businesses and people are not aware of the danger that they are exposed to during a thunderstorm.

Early warnings and appropriate actions in the event of a thunderstorm can greatly reduce the risk of all people and equipment. Software tools that can display lightning data can assist in making vital safety choices during a thunderstorm.

Real-time lightning data

There are several to access the real-time lightning data. These include:

  • Visual Display Systems
  • Email and SMS Alerting
  • Raw Data Feed
  • FTP

Real-time lightning data can be added to your own software via the TCP/IP feed. The TCP/IP feed is a custom data stream that sends lightning strike data to you in real-time. The TCP/IP feed is a popular option for implementing lightning data that can be manipulated and visually modified into an existing platform.
