The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from Seoul 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 Seoul the radiant in Lyra climbs to 84° above the south-east horizon around 04:10. Local best viewing window: 23:05–04:10 KST on the peak night, about 5.1 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 18/hour headline figure works out to roughly 18 meteors an hour from Seoul under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: limited visibility; a site a short drive away may do better.
