The Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower peaks from Tokyo 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 Tokyo the radiant in Aquarius climbs to 38° above the south horizon around 01:45. Local best viewing window: 23:00–03:05 JST on the peak night, about 4.1 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 25/hour headline figure works out to roughly 15 meteors an hour from Tokyo under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: mostly cloud-free — light pollution will be the limiting factor.
