The Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower peaks from Dubai around Jul 29-30, with up to 25 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a bright moon will hide most meteors except the brightest, and from Dubai the radiant in Aquarius climbs to 48° above the south horizon around 02:25. Local best viewing window: 23:00–04:20 UTC+04 on the peak night, about 5.3 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 25/hour headline figure works out to roughly 19 meteors an hour from Dubai under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: intermittent cloud, so patience pays off.

How to Watch from Dubai
- Find a dark spot away from city lights — parks, hilltops, or rooftops work well
- Lie on your back and look straight up — no telescope needed
- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face south — Aquarius reaches 48° at 02:25 UTC+04, its highest while the sky is still dark
