During the night of Saturday August 12 to Sunday August 13, we can observe 38 to 50 shooting stars per hour from the Perseids. The same number can be seen on the night of August 13-14. Others will join, so a total of 48 to 65 meteorites can be observed per hour.

Last year, the Perseid shooting stars were barely visible due to weather conditions. This year, the conditions will be rather favorable, according to Meteovista.

The peak will be reached on Sunday at 2 p.m., but since it will be daylight at that time, the stars will not be visible. The best viewing time, with the highest number of shooting stars per hour, is Sunday, August 13 at 4 a.m. We can then observe regarding 44 shooting stars per hour. “Look diagonally east and northeast, that’s when you’re most likely to see a shooting star. Then you’ll see a bright, fast trail,” advises Meteovista.

Three days before and three days following the weekend, it will also be possible to observe shooting stars. (Belga)
