The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Mumbai 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 Mumbai the radiant in Boötes climbs to 41° above the north-east horizon around 05:50. Local best viewing window: 04:15–05:50 IST on the peak night, about 1.6 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 72 meteors an hour from Mumbai under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: cloud cover stays low across the forecast window.

- 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-east — Boötes reaches 41° at 05:50 IST, its highest while the sky is still dark
