How to Watch the Perseid Meteor Shower 2025 – Peak Dates, Best Viewing Times, and Tips

The Perseids peak on August 12–13, 2025, as Earth passes through the densest part of Swift-Tuttle’s debris, with the official peak around 02:30–03:00 UTC on August 13. The Moon will be a bright waning gibbous at about 83–84% illumination during peak, severely reducing counts from the typical 50–100 meteors per hour to about 10–20 per hour. The best viewing times are after midnight local time, with NASA noting a prime window around 2–3 a.m. local time. The radiant lies in the constellation Perseus, near the Perseus–Cassiopeia border, so many meteors appear to radiate from that area. The shower’s material comes

Don’t Miss the 2025 Perseids: Ultimate Guide to Photographing August’s Meteor Shower

The Perseid meteor shower peaks on the night of August 12 into the early hours of August 13, 2025. The peak occurs three days after a full moon, so bright moonlight reduces fainter meteors and you may see about 10–20 meteors per hour under moonlit skies. In North America and Europe, the peak is the night of Aug 12–13 with the best rates from midnight to dawn as Perseus rises in the northeast. In Asia and Australia, the peak timing is around 2:30 UTC on Aug 13, with good opportunities in the pre-dawn hours of Aug 12 and Aug 13.
