The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from São Paulo 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 São Paulo the radiant in Lyra climbs to 33° above the north horizon around 04:10. Local best viewing window: 02:05–05:05 UTC-03 on the peak night, about 3.0 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 18/hour headline figure works out to roughly 10 meteors an hour from São Paulo under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: fully overcast — little chance of a clear gap.
