Master baker tier. Every paragraph earns its place on the tray.
Summary
The article presents a real-time world lightning map from WWLLN (World Wide Lightning Location Network) showing lightning stroke positions detected over the previous hour. The visualization uses color-coded markers to indicate the timing of lightning strikes - white for the most recent (within 10 minutes), progressing through yellow, orange, orange red, red, and maroon for strikes up to 60 minutes old. Green markers indicate active WWLLN lightning sensor locations.
Key quotes
· 4 pulledLightning stroke positions detected over the previous hour are shown
White markers indicate lightning occurring within the last 10 minutes
Green markers indicate active WWLLN lightning sensors
Yellow, orange, orange red, red, and maroon markers show activity occurring 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 minutes ago respectively
