The past few weeks a friend and I have been working on a series of animated spatial visualisations using global lightning strike location data.
You can see and read more about them here: https://spatialawareness.io/blog/thunderbolts-and-lightning/
We poured a load of hours in these, and overall it's been a really interesting exercise to see how we approach the same dataset differently.
Craig's visualisation is a beautiful global view of lightning data over a few weeks.
My visualisation shows air traffic actively avoiding stormy weather and lightning over Dallas Fort Worth in 2019.
