The Perseids meteor shower peaks from Mumbai around Aug 12-13, with up to 150 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a new moon means dark skies, and from Mumbai the radiant in Perseus climbs to 48° above the north horizon around 05:00. Local best viewing window: 01:35–05:00 IST on the peak night, about 3.4 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 150/hour headline figure works out to roughly 111 meteors an hour from Mumbai under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: cloud cover stays low across the forecast window.

How to Watch from Mumbai
- 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 48° at 05:00 IST, its highest while the sky is still dark
