Yes, the meteor shower will begin on Sunday, August 12 around 9pm local time (no matter which time zone you are in) and will go through Monday, August 13 around dawn. The best time to watch is closer to midnight or later to see the most meteors. To see the shower look towards the Northeast Horizon. Make sure you are about an hour outside of any major city in a rural part of town so that there are no lights to interfere with the show. Good Luck!

Yes, the Perseid meteor shower will occur August 12 – 13, producing one to two meteors per minute. The best viewing times will be from 9:00 PM, Sunday, until dawn of August 13.

Yes. The best view will be from any dark place without too many trees and tall buildings. The darker the sky the more you will see, because just like with stars, there are usually more dim ones than bright ones. The best time to look would be just before dawn on the morning of Monday, August 13. This is because that is the side of the globe facing most directly into the oncoming meteor stream. It doesn't matter what time zone you are in, you just need to be on the morning half of the globe.

Yes. Get far enough away from the city and its street lights, and you'll see the Perseid meteor shower.
The best time to watch is between 11 p.m. Sunday and 4:30 a.m. Monday, though some meteors also will be visible tonight

The best of the shower will start late Sun.. night and end at day-break Mon. Just lay back , and look toward the North East.
In an area where there is no lights, as the hills should be between the lights and you.
Hope what you are looking for is to your liking!!!
