The Perseids meteor shower peaks from Dubai around Aug 12-13, with up to 150 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a new moon means dark skies, and from Dubai the radiant in Perseus climbs to 53° above the north horizon around 04:30. Local best viewing window: 00:40–04:30 UTC+04 on the peak night, about 3.8 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 150/hour headline figure works out to roughly 120 meteors an hour from Dubai under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: intermittent cloud, so patience pays off.

How to Watch from Dubai
- Find a dark spot away from city lights — parks, hilltops, or rooftops work well
- Lie on your back and look straight up — no telescope needed
- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face north — Perseus reaches 53° at 04:30 UTC+04, its highest while the sky is still dark
