03 · Thunder Hour Climatology

Global monthly thunder activity.

Compare the available monthly maps from ENTH, WWLLN, GLM, MTG and GLD360, and download their standardized 1° NPZ data. Choose a dataset independently in either panel, then select the year and month.

This work is carried out in collaboration with Tamás Bozóki and Kolos Németh.

MTG · Flash Density

Monthly lightning flash density.

Explore monthly mean daily flash density from Meteosat Third Generation observations, from August 2024 to July 2026.

The downloadable NPZ files share the same structure and 1° latitude–longitude grid. Read the documentation before comparing thunder hours with flash density.
