The Leonids meteor shower peaks from Mumbai 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 Mumbai the radiant in Leo climbs to 69° above the east horizon around 05:30. Local best viewing window: 02:25–05:30 IST on the peak night, about 3.1 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 15/hour headline figure works out to roughly 14 meteors an hour from Mumbai under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: cloud cover stays low across the forecast window.

How to Watch from Mumbai
- Find a dark spot away from city lights — parks, hilltops, or rooftops work well
- Lie on your back and look straight up — no telescope needed
- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face east — Leo reaches 69° at 05:30 IST, its highest while the sky is still dark
