Southern Delta Aquariids in Seville

The Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower peaks from Seville 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 Seville the radiant in Aquarius climbs to 36° above the south horizon around 04:30. Local best viewing window: 01:55–05:40 CEST on the peak night, about 3.8 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 25/hour headline figure works out to roughly 15 meteors an hour from Seville under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: mixed cloud, so clear spells come and go.
