The Perseid metoer shower lasts the enitre month of august. Th 13th was the busiest night, but for the next week or so it will be very intense.
All this week, you will be able to see atleast one shotting star per minute.
Find a clear, dark spot and you will still be able to see plenty over the next week.
The persieds are caused by Earth passing through the path of a comet, so there is lots of debris that falls for te entire month. All the devris is about the size of a grain of sand, so nothing hits the ground, but lots of shooting stars can be seen.
This is the clander for the Perseids:

the final viewing cases are at 12:00 am to 5:00 am the following day morning. attempt to locate a niche with a outstanding view of the sky and minimum easy pollutants which contain highway lamps or residences with lights on. you need to additionally probable be outdoors to view the meteors.
