The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from Buenos Aires around Apr 22, with up to 18 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Buenos Aires the radiant in Lyra climbs to 22° above the north horizon around 05:00. Local best viewing window: 02:45–05:55 UTC-03 on the peak night, about 3.2 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 18/hour headline figure works out to roughly 7 meteors an hour from Buenos Aires under a genuinely dark sky. The radiant stays low from Buenos Aires, so expect fewer meteors but longer, shallower trails near the horizon. Tonight: complete cloud cover across the forecast window.
