The estimate is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.

Not many meteors, but known for bright fireballs.

Halloween is the evening before All Saints' Day on November 1 - All Hallows' Eve. It draws on Samhain, the Gaelic festival at the end of the harvest that marked the start of winter, when the boundary with the world of the dead was thought to be thin.

The first jack-o'-lanterns in Ireland and Scotland were carved from turnips. In North America the pumpkin took their place.
