The design of a simple, compact and inexpensive electronic counter for registering the number of lightning strokes occurring within known area is presented. Performance of the counter was compared with a visual observation of lightning activity with approximately 96 percent of the strokes being registered. Use of weather radar equipment indicated the ability of the counter to detect storms at ranges up to 100 miles.
