The Geminids meteor shower peaks from Dublin 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 Dublin the radiant in Gemini climbs to 69° above the south horizon around 02:25. Local best viewing window: 20:25–06:20 GMT on the peak night, about 9.9 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 120/hour headline figure works out to roughly 112 meteors an hour from Dublin under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: mostly clouded over — breaks will be brief.
