The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Bergen around Jan 3-4, with up to 110 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Bergen the radiant in Boötes climbs to 69° above the east horizon around 06:55. Local best viewing window: 23:55–06:55 CET on the peak night, about 7.0 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 103 meteors an hour from Bergen under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: total cover forecast, with no usable gaps.
