The Leonids meteor shower peaks from Stockholm 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 Stockholm the radiant in Leo climbs to 52° above the south horizon around 05:20. Local best viewing window: 01:00–05:20 CET on the peak night, about 4.3 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 15/hour headline figure works out to roughly 12 meteors an hour from Stockholm under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: complete cloud cover across the forecast window.
