It starts tonight doesn't it?

[The Black Flash]

Peaks tonight, I think. They've been appearing for a few days already.

Tonight it peaks

According to the news most people will get clear skies to night for a really good view of it all.

It'd better hurry up as it's pissing it down here.

I know it may sound stupid but that is usually the best place to put space related topics.

Bloody hell, I left the washing out!

[yoda] A peak tonight, there will be. [/yoda]

Any particular parts of UK that will get a better view than others? I'm in Norfolk boy... Also any time of night where there should be most activity?

Maybe a stupid question, but what direction in the sky should I look?

In the direction of the constellation Perseus. Not easy to distinguish, but it's left a bit from Cassiopeia (the W-shaped one).

Annoyingly the only thing that seems to be in the sky above me right now seems to be the sea, falling out of it.

[Twincam16]

Oh My God. Seriously now, there's no gaps between the raindrops. I think Pakistan have exported their floods. SOS from Manchester...SOS...

Look north before midnight or south after.

[911motorsport]

My interest is piqued

[RobM77]

I was out on Tuesday and they're the best I've ever seen by a long way. I saw two that were so bright they left trails that glowed for several seconds. The ones I saw were very high up and due N/NNE.

I heard somewhere that there is a peak tonight. Can anyone confirm?
