Integration of Real-time Location-based Lightning Alerts into Government Apps

Mr Lee Hong Chuang asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) whether the Ministry will enhance localised lightning early warning systems and integrate real-time location-based lightning alerts into the national apps; and (b) whether the Meteorological Service Singapore tracks "clear-sky" lightning strikes where no visible storm indicators are present.

This question has been addressed in the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment's combined reply to Question Nos 32 and 33 on the Order Paper for 4 August 2026.
