The Perseids meteor shower peaks from Berlin around Aug 12-13, with up to 150 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a new moon means dark skies, and from Berlin the radiant in Perseus climbs to 59° above the north-east horizon around 03:10. Local best viewing window: 23:15–03:10 CEST on the peak night, about 3.9 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 150/hour headline figure works out to roughly 129 meteors an hour from Berlin under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: partial cover — worth checking again closer to the time.

How to Watch from Berlin
- Find a dark spot away from city lights — parks, hilltops, or rooftops work well

- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face north-east — Perseus reaches 59° at 03:10 CEST, its highest while the sky is still dark
