Publicly available data would be from TRMM LIS, although that may not be very helpful given you are looking at a specific date.
There are private networks, but we are unsure as to the cost:
Vaisala has the GLD360 (

Another option is the World Wide Lightning Location Network - WWLLN (
https://wwlln.net/). This started in 2004. It may be the best option of the three here.
