The Geminids meteor shower peaks from Valencia 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 Valencia the radiant in Gemini climbs to 83° above the south horizon around 03:00. Local best viewing window: 21:35–06:35 CET on the peak night, about 9.0 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 120/hour headline figure works out to roughly 119 meteors an hour from Valencia under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: cover is high, so plan on short gaps at best.
