Weather24Live weather maps for the United States
Two instruments, both running on live data and both free to use in the browser: a lightning map that plots strikes as they are detected, and a rain radar that shows where precipitation is falling. Pick one below, or search your city.

Each one is a full page with a live map, not a preview.
Lightning map
Where it is striking right now, across the country. Every bolt is one detected strike, with a live counter for the area on screen.
Open the lightning map →Rain radar
Where rain is falling and how heavy it is, plus the hour-by-hour outlook in inches underneath the map.
Open the rain radar →Cities
Sixteen cities have a page for each instrument, with the map already centered and the live readings for that spot.

Every city here also has a lightning page — both open the map over the city itself.

The page shows now. The app shows next.
Weather24 keeps the same maps in your pocket and adds the part a web page cannot do: a notification before a storm cell or a rain band reaches you, plus a home screen widget.
Where the data comes from
Strikes are located by a ground-based lightning detection network, and the map keeps the last 10 minutes of them. Precipitation, storm cells and the hourly figures come from Open-Meteo model data, and the base map is built from OpenStreetMap. Details of every source, and what these pages deliberately do not do, are on the about page.
