Too far ahead for a weather forecast. These are the sun's own times - they will not change.
Meteor shower
Perseids
Active, around 33 an hour
Best around 4:38 AM
The night9:23 PM – 4:48 AM+1
The rate at the top 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.
The most dependable shower of the year, on warm summer nights in the north.
Full moon
Full Sturgeon Moon
Rises 7:35 PM in the ESE
7:35 PM – 6:31 AM
Named for the lake sturgeon most easily caught in the Great Lakes in late summer.
Between the two 4° marks the Moon is clear of haze and most of what stands on the horizon.
The disc is biggest and most orange in the first half hour above the horizon, and moonrise here is worked out to the minute for a flat horizon.
