The Lyrids meteor shower peaks from Stockholm 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 Stockholm the radiant in Lyra climbs to 46° above the east horizon around 01:10. Local best viewing window: 00:20–01:10 CEST on the peak night, about 0.8 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 18/hour headline figure works out to roughly 13 meteors an hour from Stockholm under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: complete cloud cover across the forecast window.
