♣  Great viewing conditions this year!

Auri B. 7/28 5:06PM 5

Crescent moon sets early so no moonlight (i.e. best conditions for meteor watching ... even the faint meteors!) The shower should reach its peak in the hours after midnight (of Aug 12), with approximately 50 meteors per hour.

From NASA: http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/news.cfm?release=2010-119

The Perseid meteor shower is one of the most consistent performers and considered by many as this year's best shower. The meteors they produce are among the brightest of all meteor showers.
