The Perseids usually deliver 50-100 meteors per hour at their best, but a bright waxing gibbous Moon in 2027 will be up most of the night and cut visible rates significantly.
Best viewing tip
Try watching in the hour or two after dusk before the Moon climbs high, or focus on the brightest Perseid fireballs later at night.
