Description: Lightning data were collected using the Southern African Lightning Detection Network (SALDN), a ground‑based VLF/LF lightning detection system operational since 2006. Individual lightning strokes detected by multiple sensors were grouped into flashes using space–time clustering algorithms. Daily lightning flash counts were aggregated spatially onto a regular grid and temporally averaged over a multi‑year period to produce climatological averages. The primary output is average annual cloud‑to‑ground lightning flash density (flashes/km²/year). Additional averaged parameters include average flash multiplicity (strokes per flash), median peak current (kA), and average percentage of positive‑polarity lightning.
