A storm alert that does not cry wolf

Most storm alerts are just a forecast. This one is different: it is triggered by lightning actually detected around your town, minute by minute. Three levels give you the essentials at a glance: yellow when there is activity in the area, orange when the storm is getting seriously close, red when lightning is striking the town itself, with the trend showing whether it is building or moving away.

Coverage extends to Belgium and eight neighbouring countries, more than 68,000 municipalities monitored around the clock. Look up your own town, your family's or your holiday destination: the answer is instant and honest, and when all is calm, the map says so too. To see the lightning itself, the live map is one click away.
