Moon conditions are a viewing variable
Moonlight, moonrise timing and Moon altitude can change how many faint meteors are visible during the local viewing window.
Artificial light boundary
UK towns create strong skyglow; rural edges, coasts, moors and open parks usually give a wider, darker sky.
Where to look
Use the radiant as a general reference direction, then watch a broad area of sky rather than one precise point.
Where to see
Use broad open sky, safe access and a position away from immediate lamps.
Urban skyglow and direct lamps can hide fainter meteors.
Cloud and street lighting are often the practical limit; choose safe open locations and avoid direct lamps.
