The Geminids meteor shower peaks from Barcelona around Dec 13-14, with up to 120 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a thin crescent moon leaves mostly dark skies, and from Barcelona the radiant in Gemini climbs to 81° above the south horizon around 02:50. Local best viewing window: 21:20–06:25 CET on the peak night, about 9.1 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 120/hour headline figure works out to roughly 119 meteors an hour from Barcelona under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: cover is high, so plan on short gaps at best.
