Don’t miss out on all of Yorkshire! Get the most important stories right in your inbox
Since most of Yorkshire expects thunderstorms tonight and in the early hours of the morning, we thought we would introduce this great app.
LightningMaps.org follows the movements of the rays as they occur.
It is loose and very easy to use. A yellow dot inside a red circle looks like a ray at the moment it occurs. The white waves emanate from the impact zone that represent the movement of thunder sounds.
The color of the dot darkens over time after hitting up to an hour, giving a symbol of the number of movements recorded in the area.
You can rewind for one hour or 24 hours.
There may not be any typhoons in your domain at this time, but step away and you will be able to see them fall elsewhere, allowing you to track the movements of typhoons. Under the right conditions, you can practice typhoons as they approach.
You’ll soon know why we describe this app as “addictive”.
And if you still have more features and knowledge to play with, check out the main task here.

In Leeds, it will have to be a bit of an evening owl, as storms are expected from early in the morning until about 9 a.m.
In North Yorkshire, storms are later around 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. and between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m.
