In a rare turn of events, Oklahoma overtook Florida as the 2025 lightning capital of the United States—recording the highest lightning density in the country.

That is just one of several findings in this year’s lightning data that challenge long-standing assumptions. Overall, lightning activity increased in 2025, but not always in ways that align neatly with historical patterns or regional expectations. Some familiar signals held. Others didn’t.

The 2025 U.S. Lightning Report captures these changes in unprecedented detail. In this webinar, the Ph.D. lightning scientists behind the data take you inside the maps and metrics translating lightning data into real world insights.   

In this expert-led webinar, we will explore:

• The most significant lightning trends from 2025 and how they compare to historical patterns

• How peak lightning activity aligned with billion-dollar disaster events across the U.S.

• Which states saw the most significant deviations from normal lightning activity and why

• What lightning data reveals about storm timing, geographic distribution, and overall severity

• Where and when lightning peaked near major airports, stadiums, and other high-traffic areas—and what it may mean for public safety

Register now to hear directly from the scientists behind the 2025 U.S. Lightning Report and gain insight you won't get from the data alone.
