How to read these numbers
Strikes are located by the Blitzortung.org volunteer network and appear here seconds after they happen. Positions carry a mean error of about 5.6 km, and the network detects a share of all strikes rather than every one, so treat these as a live storm indicator, not a safety service. If you can hear thunder, the storm is already within strike range regardless of what any page says.
Zero strikes in the last hour does not guarantee a quiet afternoon: storms build in under an hour. The live map shows each strike the moment it is detected, with the thunder wavefront timed to your exact position. Longer-term counts for the region are on the Austria page and the worldwide data hub.
Want your exact street rather than the whole city? Check how close lightning has come to any spot — drop a pin and see every recorded strike within 1 to 10 miles.
