Perseids in Seville

The Perseids meteor shower peaks from Seville around Aug 12-13, with up to 150 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a new moon means dark skies, and from Seville the radiant in Perseus climbs to 60° above the north-east horizon around 06:00. Local best viewing window: 01:20–06:00 CEST on the peak night, about 4.7 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 150/hour headline figure works out to roughly 130 meteors an hour from Seville under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: mixed cloud, so clear spells come and go.
