Apparently from what I've read, the meteor showers will be on from mid July through to mid August, I'm wondering if anyone knows if it will be visible in the UK and if anyone has any luck seeing them?

Aha, that's why the weather sucks right now. It always does when the Perseids are around!

They typically peak a couple of weeks from now, so if you haven't seen them yet, keep at it. I haven't tried yet myself.

You might have a better chance of seeing them in areas with lower light pollution levels: https://gostargazing.co.uk/light-pollution-map/

Hopefully by the time August 12 rolls by it should be a clear sky kinda night 🤞🏽I've found a few places I could think of going, would be better also if someone hosts a stargazing event
