Answer 1

There seems to be an endless stream of questions on where and when this shower will be seen at various locations or in general.

To find where it will be visible at ANY location enter your location at the following site then check the calendar, it will give you best times, ZHR (hourly rate) overall and at your location.

And please please other people could you check that site before posing any more questions on this subject???!!!!!!!

Answer 2

The peak was this morning but you should still be able to see some residual meteors over the next few nights. Keep looking up.
