This UK and Europe lightning detection map is based on SFLOC (sferic location) data using sensors around Europe. The advantage to this system is the good accuracy it offers, the disadvantage is the relatively slow updates (every 30 minutes with a 20-30 minute time lag). The maps show lightning as different sized triangles - the larger the triangle the more intense the area of lightning in that region, to view the key to how the intensity of the strikes are signified by the size of the triangles on the map, click here (will open a new mini window)
