Lightning flash density, last 6 hour
Base Time: Sun 10 May 2026 00 UTC T+6 Valid time: Sun 10 May 2026 06 UTC (T+6)
Lightning flash densities are diagnosed from forecast values of hydrometeor content, CAPE (convective available potential energy), and cloud base height that has been output by the convection scheme.
