From what I've read is that it was on from mid July until mid August, I'm wondering if anyone has seen them with any luck?

Clouds are out around Manchester - even if it was Perseid-ing tonight, doubtful I'd spot any from here. 😔

Space Centre UK says 12th August, if that's any help.

Aww man that sucks, I'll check the sky, it's a bit clear from where I am, funny you mentioned the Space Centre because that's where I live, in Leicester 😅

Yeah August 12th is the peak shower, good luck! I'll try and post a pic if not, I'll just holla if there is any.

Every time I've seen impressive Perseid meteors was around mid august+-1 week. (and with low light pollution, of course)
