Default Meteocentre near-realtime Lightning over Europe: new data sourceadded!

Hi everyone,

MetOffice SFUK is still not available, and the Blitzortung Boltek
network is not very reliable.

I now have a new data source, which is based on an ATD network. It is
the Zeus system from the National Observatory of Athens. We will be
using this data at our University to monitor synoptic systems and
lightning occurrence. Soon, I will superimpose hourly mean sea-level
pressure analysis. I will also put some regional zooms.

I thus have a new set of lightning maps! Updated each 15 minutes,
showing either strikes or density plots.

Zeus ATD network (doesn't cover yet southeastern Europe):
