Abstract (English): Introduction: this article presents the development of a web application designed to visualize data related to lightning occurrences, using information provided by the lightning location network World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN).. Objetive: the aim of this study is to develop a tool that enables the visualization of lightning data, facilitating its analysis through the use of agile methodologies such as extreme programming and Scrum.. Methodology: the development methodology of the application includes the use of extreme programming and Scrum, covering software architecture, interface design, and the execution of functional and integration testing to ensure system performance and functionality. Results: the application was validated using lightning data from the department of Cundinamarca, Colombia, showing intense electrical activity in the Bajo Magdalena region, particularly in the municipalities of Yacopí and Caparrapí. A peak in activity was observed around 9:00 p.m. local time. The obtained results align with findings from previous studies conducted in broader areas, validating the effectiveness of the application. Conclusions: the web application demonstrated in this article facilitates the processing and analysis of large volumes of lightning data, confirming its usefulness for studies in different regions and contributing to the monitoring of electrical phenomena.

Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: este artículo presenta el desarrollo de una aplicación web diseñada para visualizar datos relacionados con la ocurrencia de rayos, utilizando la información suministrada por la red de localización de rayos World Wide Lightning Location Network (WWLLN).. Objetivo: el objetivo de este estudio es desarrollar una herramienta que permita la visualización de datos sobre rayos, facilitando su análisis mediante el uso de metodologías ágiles como programación extrema y Scrum.. Metodología: la metodología de desarrollo de la aplicación incluye el uso de programación extrema y Scrum, abarcando la arquitectura de software, el diseño de interfaces y la ejecución de pruebas funcionales e integración para garantizar el rendimiento y la funcionalidad del sistema. Resultados: lLa validación de la aplicación se realizó con datos de rayos del departamento de Cundinamarca, Colombia, mostrando una intensa actividad eléctrica en la provincia del Bajo Magdalena, especialmente en los municipios de Yacopí y Caparrapí. Se observó un pico de actividad eléctrica alrededor de las 9:00 p.m. hora local. Los resultados obtenidos coinciden con los hallazgos de estudios previos realizados en áreas más amplias, lo que valida la efectividad de la aplicación. Conclusiones: la aplicación web demostrada en este artículo facilita el procesamiento y análisis de grandes volúmenes de datos relacionados con la actividad de rayos, confirmando su utilidad para estudios en diversas regiones y contribuyendo al monitoreo de fenómenos eléctricos.
