Quadrantids in Singapore

The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Singapore 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 Singapore the radiant in Boötes climbs to 23° above the north-east horizon around 05:50. Local best viewing window: 05:00–05:50 UTC+08 on the peak night, about 0.8 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 43 meteors an hour from Singapore under a genuinely dark sky. The radiant stays low from Singapore, so expect fewer meteors but longer, shallower trails near the horizon. Tonight: complete cloud cover across the forecast window.
