The Leonids meteor shower peaks from Castellón 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 Castellón the radiant in Leo climbs to 66° above the south-east horizon around 06:10. Local best viewing window: 02:25–06:10 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 Castellón under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: intermittent cloud, so patience pays off.
