And are we likely to miss out in the south?

    I saw them last night - laid out in my back garden at about 10:00 and watched them at dusk - it was awesome. Not a cloud in the sky, think I saw about 20 in a half hour period. Best time is just around/after dusk - you can see different colours in the ones that skim across the Earth's atmosphere before burning up.

    Lovely and clear this morning at 3.30 loads of stars and even a few meteorites here in Walderslade, not good this evening as it is cloudy at the moment.

    Very cloudy here. Can't see the moon let alone meteorites. It's meant to peak around 2am.
