Lightning & storm risk FAQs for Scotland

Is lightning risk high in Scotland?

Lightning risk tracks thunderstorm frequency. Some corridors repeatedly see stronger convective activity and higher strike counts.

How should I interpret the lightning score?

Use it as a relative indicator of thunderstorm/lightning activity over time, not as a guarantee of a strike at a specific address.
