The Southern Delta Aquariids meteor shower peaks from Toronto 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 Toronto the radiant in Aquarius climbs to 30° above the south horizon around 03:20. Local best viewing window: 01:35–04:00 EDT on the peak night, about 2.4 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 25/hour headline figure works out to roughly 12 meteors an hour from Toronto under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: overcast throughout, so expect nothing visible.
