The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks from Teruel 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 Teruel the radiant in Boötes climbs to 60° above the north-east horizon around 06:45. Local best viewing window: 03:00–06:45 CET on the peak night, about 3.8 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 110/hour headline figure works out to roughly 95 meteors an hour from Teruel under a genuinely dark sky. Tonight: mixed cloud, so clear spells come and go.
