The Leonids meteor shower peaks from Barcelona around Nov 17, with up to 15 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a thin crescent moon leaves mostly dark skies, and from Barcelona the radiant in Leo climbs to 66° above the south-east horizon around 06:05. Local best viewing window: 02:15–06:05 CET on the peak night, about 3.8 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 15/hour headline figure works out to roughly 14 meteors an hour from Barcelona under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: cover is high, so plan on short gaps at best.
