The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from Mumbai 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 Mumbai the radiant in Lyra climbs to 75° above the north horizon around 04:40. Local best viewing window: 23:55–04:55 IST on the peak night, about 5.0 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 18/hour headline figure works out to roughly 17 meteors an hour from Mumbai under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: cloud cover stays low across the forecast window.

- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face north — Lyra reaches 75° at 04:40 IST, its highest while the sky is still dark
