That's impressive, I've not seen that before I like the advancing
thunder 'front', moving at the speed of sound!

It says 'real time' but there must be some delay, perhaps it's of the
order of 15 mins like the rainfall radar.


The delay is displayed top left, currently running at about 6-10
seconds. The data is from
http://www.blitzortung.org/Webpages/index.php?lang=en
but with a different display. That site can tell you how the data is
gathered and, if you're interested, how you could take part.
