Perseid meteor showers

[BooseysMom]

Wow! I've just seen two shooting stars one after the other! They were like streaks of light falling out of the sky. I haven't seen this for over 20 years. Also the continual flashing from distant storms. It's amazing. Has anyone else seen any?

Where are you? I took up position to see the meteors an hour ago, southern Hants. And a band of cloud moved in! ☹️

last night i saw loads...tonight too cloudy

we watch every year, have done since dc were small

I'm in Midlands, Worcs. I looked last year but didn't see any. I saw them this time and then it clouded over right afterwards.
Lucky star! 💫

Im in zone 4 London and have never seen one even though we try to every year. I think I need to go somewhere darker.

Bit cloudy for me to see anything. Nothing quite like seeing the night sky come to life 💫

Still sat here star gazing and all I'm getting now is a crinked neck!

It’s been too cloudy here so far this year. We planned on sitting out tonight until the storm started.

We're in Northern Ireland (east coast}) and we sat out for about 45 minutes last night and saw 5 meteors including one which was the biggest we had ever seen... 😁

@IPokeBadgers.. that sounds awesome! We've got temp. upstairs of 30.5 and the sky has turned yellow with thunder and a sudden strong wind. The storm is coming. Maybe we won't see any more meteor showers tonight.

I’m in West Sussex, saw half a dozen last night, I think that was over the course of an hour.

@nephthys.. brilliant! DH still thinks I imagined it!

Are they visible tonight?

@Morgan12.. I think so. It's too cloudy here though.

Massive thunderstorm here tonight so no chance of seeing them as far too cloudy.

We seen 7 last night over Wiltshire, and 2 the night before. We are lucky that we live quite rural so there's not much light pollution. Too cloudy tonight unfortunately!

In Spain in a country house on top of a hill. Zero light pollution and it's been incredible, best year ever I think.
Very thankful could share it with DDs. It's been a ritual for most of their childhood but possibly the last as the eldest is increasingly spreading her wings and finding her own path

Def too cloudy here last night and we had the mother of thunder storms too

@drivinmecrazy. . That sounds incredible. DS is too young atm to stay up but I'm hoping he'll get interested when he's a bit older. Hopefully before he spreads his wings too!
