Lightning flash density, last 6 hour
Base Time: Wed 06 Nov 2024 12 UTC T+6 Valid time: Wed 06 Nov 2024 18 UTC (T+6)
Lightning flash densities are diagnosed from forecast values of hydrometeor content, CAPE (convective available potential energy), and cloud base height that has been output by the model convection scheme. Lightning flash density (in strikes per 100 km2 per hour) during the previous 6 hour period are shown using colour shading – click on the middle icon to the bottom right for the non-uniform scale.
Forecast charts and data
We provide current forecasts, climate reanalyses and specific datasets. These are available via the web, point-to-point dissemination, data servers and broadcasting.
Forecasts, analyses, climate re-analyses, reforecasts and multi-model data are available from our archive (MARS) or via dedicated data servers or via point-to-point dissemination.
Researchers, WMO members, commercial users and satellite data providers can gain access to ECMWF forecast products under one of our various license agreement types.
Serving meteorology
International collaboration is fundamental to the work of ECMWF, working with the EU and the meteorological community at large, including the World Meteorological Organization, space agencies, and scientists around the world.
Workshops and education
Education is a key element of our work at ECMWF, enabling our partners to get the most from ECMWF's services and develop an advanced understanding of forecasting.
