Peak: August 11, 1900, around 19:00 UTC — up to about 100 meteors an hour under a dark sky. The Moon will be 99% lit: a bright Moon, which will wash out all but the brightest meteors. Meteors seem to come from Perseus; the debris is from Comet Swift–Tuttle. The Northern Hemisphere's favorite: warm nights and bright, fast meteors.
