The Ursids meteor shower peaks from Mumbai around Dec 22, with up to 10 meteors per hour under ideal conditions. In 2026 a half moon will wash out fainter meteors, and from Mumbai the radiant in Ursa Minor climbs to 28° above the north horizon around 05:45. Local best viewing window: 04:50–05:45 IST on the peak night, about 0.9 hours of astronomical darkness. Scaled to that altitude, the 10/hour headline figure works out to roughly 5 meteors an hour from Mumbai under a genuinely dark sky. The radiant stays low from Mumbai, so expect fewer meteors but longer, shallower trails near the horizon. Tonight: cloud cover stays low across the forecast window.

How to Watch from Mumbai
- 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 — Ursa Minor reaches 28° at 05:45 IST, its highest while the sky is still dark
