Abstract
This report describes the development of an early warning model for thunderstorm occurrence around Lake Victoria. It is the first model to use the TAHMO lightning sensor data to predict thunderstorms. This study hopes to contribute to the TWIGA focus area of increasing disaster resilience through forecasting and early warnings and could be used to reduce the impact of thunderstorms for the communities around Lake Victoria, and to aid the flights of Zipline’s medicine-delivery drones.
