When: The best time to go observing is during the pre-dawn hours of Aug. 13
(Meaning after 10 PM Sunday, Aug 12, but before Dawn Monday, Aug 13 - your local time.)

Where: US & Canada - On Sunday night / Monday morning, viewers should set up a lawn chair, preferably one that reclines. Face to the east and look halfway up. As the sky darkens, look farther overhead. (Preferably away from any light sources.)

Best places to view are WAY out in the country, away from ALL house, street and city lights.

Google? Search for "Perseid Meteor Shower".

PICK A SPOT FOR PERSEID VIEWING
I spy meteor showers in the sky

"The Perseid meteor shower should be exceptionally good this year because it peaks during a new moon.
The best time to see the meteors is when the Perseids peak, at 1 a.m. Monday. The new moon occurs seven hours earlier.

Experts believe you’ll be able to see as many as 60 to 100 meteors an hour.

On Sunday night, viewers should set up a lawn chair, preferably one that reclines. Face to the east and look halfway up. As the sky darkens, look farther overhead.

Another good way to watch is to lie down on a blanket or sleeping bag and a pillow.

Because meteors can appear anywhere in the sky, it is a good idea to pick a direction to look, preferably away from any light sources. Stick with it and enjoy the show.

Don’t worry about having binoculars; your eyes will work best."
