Perseids 2019 UK: When is the Perseid meteor shower in the UK? What time is the peak?

Where to look for the Perseids on the night of the shower’s peak? 

When viewed from Earth, the meteors will appear to break out into our skies from a single point or radiant in the constellation Perseus. 

In reality, however, the meteors will come flying from a different part of space altogether. 

In order to watch the Perseids on the night of the peak, look out for a dark and open space with an unobstructed view of the horizon.

Meteor showers are best observed if you can see the entire night sky at once.
