Apparently the peak is just before dawn on Tuesday.

Here's the Nasa link: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2008/22jul_perseiddawn.htm

Look up!!! If you look for long enough you'll see some :y :y :y

SWMBO and I just spotted a couple but you want to be looking in a roughly NE direction.

Tomorrow night will be better but we're going to be in London... Too much light pollution to see much there :( :( :(
