Lyrids in Seville
The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from Seville 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 Seville the radiant in Lyra climbs to 84° above the south-east horizon around 06:00. Local best viewing window: 01:00–06:00 CEST on the peak night, about 5.0 hours of astronomical darkness.
