2024 Season - SaskLightning will likely be down for extended periods this season.
The SaskLighting computer is aging and has not yeat been replaced. If time permits, I might get to upgrading it but probabably not for a while. In the meantime, check out LightningMaps.org in the Quick Links below for an alternative.

Seek proper shelter well in advance of approaching lightning whenever possible. It is important to remember that thunderstorms can develop quickly and with little warning. Lightning can be present in significant amounts even when NexStorm is not tracking any structured thunderstorms.
Environment Canada has a good page discussing lightning safety. A link to this page is provided under Quick Links to the left. They also have a pdf document available discussing Severe Summer Weather. I highly recommend you read that document.
