The “Lightning Flash Rate Density” product is the total cloud-cloud and cloud-ground instantaneous lightning flashes per unit time per unit area.

Important Note: This product does not explicitly depict discrete lightning strikes, but is based on Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) parameters and serves as a proxy for where lightning is forecasted to occur by showing flashes per unit time per unit area.
