The Leonids meteor shower peaks from Burgos 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 Burgos the radiant in Leo climbs to 65° above the south-east horizon around 06:30. Local best viewing window: 02:35–06:30 CET on the peak night, about 3.9 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 15/hour headline figure works out to roughly 14 meteors an hour from Burgos under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: partial cover — worth checking again closer to the time.
