I believe tomorrow night and Friday night will be the best nights to see them, if I'm wrong, please let me know. I guess ther're s'posed to be pretty good this year. Also, where are you watching them from and how's the weather there? I'm in northern Nova Scotia and its looking iffy at this point.

The meteor shower peak is expected to be Thursday night-Friday morning this week around midnight to 2am. The entire northern hemisphere can see it best if you get away from the city lights to a darker sky location. If you stay in the city you will only be able to see the bigger and brighter ones. Meteor showers last for days and when the experts talk about the expected peak that doesnt mean that it is done and over. Go out and look up. Be patient. They are usually measured in meteors per hour and this one is expected to be pretty active.

Yes because the moon is not likely to interfere with visibility it will be good this year, if you are lucky to be in a dark sky site and the radiant is at the zenith then you may see a maximum of about 100 per hr, this shower is fairly constant from year to year, but find somewhere dark to go and watch!
