The Perseids meteors peak this weekend and coincide with a nearly new moon, so the sky will be dark. For those interested and have clear skies, there should be a decent show of shooting stars Saturday night (11/12 August) and also Sunday night as the peak is quite broad, As ever, and it's just the way the solar system works, the best time to view the sky is 2 am onwards until the sky brightens, but you should be able to see a few meteors before that time.
