Growing up this was one of my favorite things. The Perseid shower is great because you can lay out in the back yard and eat "S'mores" while watching a free light show on a warm night. Doesn't get much better than that, unless you have chocolate milk too!

Enjoy, take a nap in the day, and don't for get the "S'mores"!

After midnight is best. Actually, just before dawn is best. I have seen some good showers by getting up an hour before dawn.

Assuming skies without clouds, you will see best when it is darkest. I suggest between 11 pm and 1 am. Also there is a new moon then, which will help.
