The Geminids meteor shower peaks from Stockholm 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 Stockholm the radiant in Gemini climbs to 63° above the south horizon around 01:50. Local best viewing window: 19:35–05:55 CET on the peak night, about 10.3 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 120/hour headline figure works out to roughly 107 meteors an hour from Stockholm under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: complete cloud cover across the forecast window.
