I know she broke the sound barrier but when has she flown at the speed of lightning?
I know she riden a lightning bolt to the edge of space but the exact speed was never giving.
I can go with it being lightning speed.

Some of us wait, some of us act.
Yes, I remember you once posted this image here, which reinforces that Ororo's powers are much more complex than those of a telepath, as she is constantly connected with the elements.

I could be wrong, but putting it all together, you can deduce that your powers are faster than telepaths (I know there's nothing confirmed, just a puzzle that has to be pieced together).
Of course, Monica is one of my favorite heroines, she deserved a solo comic.
Ororo may not fly at FTL speed, but the reaction his powers operate might be yes, it's all real research, and little moments like the one in Song of the Acantis and Galactic Core.
The 'microclimates' she's referring to are the ships' individual artificial atmospheres. She had to connect with and take over each of them. There are far fewer targets and far less distance involved here than compared to the galactic core feat. One could postulate it took a few minutes for her to do it in this case because they were unnatural.
And in regards to lightning and its speed, air resistance definitely plays a role in it because natural lightning essentially tunnels/burns through the air(making the individual steps and forked branches), and then once the connection is fully established (of ionized air), the full cascade of charge differential is released(maybe even a couple of times, producing a flickering bolt). The tunneling is what slows down the overall speed. Electromagnetic wave propagation is dependent on resistance. Its speed would vary in a vacuum, in a good conductor, in a bad conductor; for example.
Let the flames destroy all but that which is pure and true!
If she rode a lightning bolt then it's the speed of lightning????
Also the average speed of lightning according to new data I think from Harvard is mach 1000+. But Lightning has no definite speed it can go as low as mach 100 and reach some percent of light speed. It all depends on the power of the bolt.
We do not talk about this scan enough. I'm not focused on her doing the galactic core. I'm talking about her energy durability. This woman was channeling and manipulating energy from millions of stars, planets, and more. Her body was still intact despite all the HEAT, GRAVITY, MASSIVE ENERGY, and more. Not to mention she turned into a literally Star not turned into dust and was unfazed by the harsh colds of space while severely weak.
It is impressive. That sort of durability should confer to her every day. That said, while she did endure that initial scenario unscathed, presumably afterwards her body did begin to deteriorate because she had to be regenerated inside of the Acanti. I always interpret this as a suicide attempt, for breaking her vow to never kill[she herself should perish]. She somehow deactivated her body's natural defenses and just let go.

Actually no. That's like saying every time she rides wind, she moves at its max speed. Her powers allow her to adjust the speed she flies at. While we have some pics of her cracking the sound barrier (770 mph), while having a lightning trail behind her. We dont know if that was lightning speed or even her top speed. (One of the reason I miss caption description boxes).
Yeah, I know. Thanks
Every time i read that, i think Storm is a cosmic being

Lightning has no definite speed. Just because she was going the maximum speed doesn't mean anything. In fact, we don't know the maxed-out speed of lightning since it has reached even a percent of light speed. As I stated the average speed of lightning is mach 1000+. So the comparison to wind did no justice. Either way it's still Massively Hypersonic. There is no hypersonic level of speed for the lightning bolt. There is not transonic level of speed like winds for the lightning bolt.
Speaking of flight speed, I absolutely hate that "travel as fast as any wind can" nonsense they tried to tack on to her cause that made her seem like a slug lmao.

GA: "She moves fast"..
F:"Compared to who?"
GA:"Hold her!"
F:"Does it look like I'm not trying!?"
♡♡♡
Oh, and in X-treme, Storm was faster than Emma, if you consider that Frost was already in Ororo's mind or about to enter, Storm had to act faster than her telepathy

Good moments of her riding in the lightning, I only know these:

1. I agree with you on your points made. it is not as vast for sure but I still believe the feats are similar.
2. I would take your word here as I don't know for sure but I thought I've read the accurate speed to measure light would be in a perfect vacuum which as you know simply doesn't exist on earth. all in all, I think it's fair to say her ability to process information would have to be fast considering her feats in the past even if went can't canonically quantify as being just as fast as the speed of light (though I think you and others make a good argument).
ALL HAIL THE HADARI YAO, THE OMEGA'S OMEGA, BEYOND OMEGA, THE VOICE OF SOL!!!! NOW AGAIN THE ONE TRUE AND ONLY GODDESS OF THE X-MEN AS CLAREMONT INTENDED!!!!!
Claremont is the God of Hyperbole.
And while his "science" isn't always 100% factual or even plausible, and should be digested with more than a few grains of salt...It does make for engaging and highly imaginative storytelling.
