You can watch the meteors best around the 13th of August. There will be around 50 to 100 per hour.

It doesn't change much from year to year.

It's gonna be cloudy in my area anyway.

The peak this year will be on August 12 between 13:00-16:00 Universal Time so the best nights would be Sunday, August 11 or Monday, August 12 depending on where you’re at.
