New User – How Accurate Are Local Strikes on the Map?
#1
I’m new to Blitzortung and just started diving into the lightning maps—super fascinating stuff! I'm located in central Italy and noticed that sometimes the strikes shown on the map are very close to where I am, almost too precise. I’m wondering, how accurate is the positioning of individual lightning strikes, especially in regions with fewer stations?
Also, does the number of active detectors in an area significantly affect the data I see? For example, if only a few stations are reporting, should I take the locations with a grain of salt?
Looking forward to learning more from all of you! Thanks in advance.
