About lightning detection in Chiapas
The page counts the strikes inside the box -94.15, 14.5, -90.35, 18 (west, south, east, north), roughly Chiapas, so near the edges it can include storms just across the border. Strikes are located by Blitzortung.org, a community network of radio receivers that time the pulse of each discharge: a few kilometres of accuracy where receivers are dense, coarser over oceans and remote land, and weak or in-cloud flashes can be missed.
Questions
- Is there lightning in Chiapas right now?
- The first box counts the strikes detected over Chiapas in the hour before the last update, and the live map shows every new strike within seconds. Zero means the network detected no strike, not that no storm is building.
- How up to date is this lightning map?
- The counts on this page are rebuilt every hour from a continuous recording of the Blitzortung.org network; the map opened by the button is live and shows strikes seconds after they hit.
- How far away is the storm if I hear thunder?
- If you can hear thunder you are within about 15 km of lightning, close enough to be struck. Count the seconds between flash and thunder and divide by 3 for the distance in kilometres, and wait 30 minutes after the last thunder before going back outside.
- Can I rely on this map for safety?
- No. Detection is good but not complete, and a storm can strike first right overhead. Follow your national weather service for warnings and go indoors when thunder roars.

How this page works
Strikes come from the Blitzortung.org community network, recorded around the clock through one connection on our server (never one per visitor, as the network asks) — the same feed as the live lightning map — and counted inside the box of Chiapas at every rebuild. Hours when the recorder was offline are shown as no data, not as zero. Lightning data © Blitzortung.org and contributors.
