The Persids, the most regularly pleasing meteor shower, will peak early morning (i.e. 2am) on August 12th this year. However, it may all be washed out by the full moon during that period.

There is tons of space dust and bits entering the earth's atmosphere all the time.
Find a dark spot far from city lights where you have a lot of open sky, get some mosquito spray and a beer and sit and watch the sky. There are big showers of debris in August plus others times, but on an average night you should see some at least a few and hour. You will not need binoculars, just a lounge chair and relax.

You can download stuff online that can tell you when the next shooting star will apear. I'm not sure what program, but i think it is real. Shooting Stars will only apear at night time, if you didn't already know. I've noticed that they are in the sky more often around midnight, but you don't need to take my advice.

There's no way to predict when and where a shootig star will fall. My suggestion, go out of the city and spend some time looking up at the stars. You'll see one eventually.

I live in a dome at the top of a hill with an awesome view of the stars, so I see one every night.

the Perseid meteor showers are always in August.
This is the best time to see meteors in the sky, they are all over the place in the middle of an August night (try the middle of August)

Almost every night if you're looking... try camping out under the stars and just stare for twenty minutes... you're bound to see something.
