The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from São Paulo around Jan 3-4, with up to 110 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. From São Paulo the radiant in Boötes reaches 17° but only while the sky is light, so the Quadrantids stay out of view on peak night. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, though from São Paulo the limit here is daylight rather than the Moon — a shower peaking when nights are longer is the better bet. Tonight: fully overcast — little chance of a clear gap.
