lightening strikes in Ireland

jocotty

Hi All,

Does anyone know there i can get a map showing the lightening levels of Ireland (what i just discovered are called "Isokeraunic Levels"). Basically , its shows Ireland divided into different regions , and the probability of lightening strikes in that region - or something along those lines.

thanks,
Jo
