The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Stockholm 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 Stockholm the radiant in Boötes climbs to 69° above the east horizon around 06:00. Local best viewing window: 23:20–06:00 CET on the peak night, about 6.7 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 103 meteors an hour from Stockholm under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: complete cloud cover across the forecast window.

- Give your eyes 20 minutes to adapt to the dark
- Face east — Boötes reaches 69° at 06:00 CET, its highest while the sky is still dark
