Skyview Systems' real-time lightning detection and warning systems are engineered to safeguard lives, infrastructure, and operations across the UK. With over 1.4 billion lightning events detected globally each year, the need for accurate, fast-response lightning monitoring is critical. Our cutting-edge detectors provide instant alerts, enabling proactive safety protocols in high-risk industries such as aviation, energy, construction, and logistics. By delivering real-time strike data, our systems help maintain operational continuity and ensure workforce safety during severe weather events.
Though lightning strikes may appear vast across the sky, they typically measure only 2–3 cm in width, yet can stretch over 2–3 miles in length, posing serious threats to ground-level operations. Thunderstorms result in hundreds of billions in global damages annually, reinforcing the importance of robust lightning strike detection. Skyview Systems offers fully integrated, UK-compliant lightning monitoring solutions that support both regulatory compliance and extreme weather resilience. Whether you need permanent systems or mobile units, our lightning meter detectors deliver unmatched accuracy when it matters most.
Lightning detection systems are vital tools for accurately tracking lightning activity and ensuring safety across a wide range of sectors in the UK. From meteorology and renewable energy to aviation, construction, and public safety, these systems enable informed decision-making, reduce operational risk, and optimise critical workflows.
Whether you're monitoring severe weather, scheduling high-risk work, or implementing robust safety protocols, advanced lightning detection solutions deliver the precise, real-time data needed to improve performance and resilience. Discover how Skyview’s cutting-edge lightning detection technology can enhance your operations with reliable, actionable insights across diverse applications throughout the UK.
Real-time lightning detection systems protect aircraft, ground crews, and airside operations, minimising delays and ensuring safety compliance.

The BTD-200 Lightning Warning System is a complete, out-of-the-box, self-contained sensor that reliably detects the presence of all forms of lightning to a range of 35km. The BTD-200 uses quasi-electrostatic measurements to avoid the problems associated with the detection of lightning using radio waves and to provide the ability to issue warnings prior to the first discharge of lightning.
The advanced detection principle of the BTD-200 enables it to monitor the strength of the local electric field and the presence of charged precipitation, both of which are strong indicators of lightning risk. This allows the BTD-200 to provide warnings of the risk of an overhead strike even before any lightning has been produced. This advance warning can be up to 20 minutes before the lightning begins, giving more than enough time to alert staff, members, teams and the public to the risks of remaining out of doors.
A lightning meter detector is a device designed to measure and detect the presence of lightning activity in the surrounding area. It provides real-time data on lightning strikes, helping to assess the risk and take necessary precautions.
A lightning alert system detects lightning activity within a certain radius and sends out warnings or alerts. These alerts can be visual, audible, or sent via digital communication platforms, allowing people to take safety measures to avoid potential hazards.
Lightning strike detectors are used to monitor and detect lightning strikes in real time. They are commonly used in areas prone to thunderstorms to ensure the safety of people, equipment, and structures by providing early warning of potential lightning strikes.
A lightning strike detection system is an integrated setup that monitors, detects, and records lightning strikes in a specific area. This system can provide data for analysis and send alerts to mitigate risks associated with lightning.
A lightning detection system is generally highly reliable when properly installed and maintained. These systems use advanced technology to accurately detect and track lightning strikes, providing timely alerts and reducing the risk of lightning-related incidents.
When choosing a lightning detector device, consider features such as detection range, accuracy, portability, alert types (visual/audible), and connectivity options. Some devices may also offer integration with weather stations or mobile apps for enhanced functionality.
A commercial lightning detector is crucial for businesses that operate in outdoor environments or industries sensitive to lightning, such as construction, aviation, and sports. It helps protect assets, ensure safety, and minimise downtime by providing early warnings of lightning activity.
A commercial lightning sensor is typically more robust and designed for use in larger or more critical environments, offering a wider detection range and enhanced durability. Standard detectors may be more suitable for personal or small-scale use, with a focus on portability and basic functionality.
