The Orionids -- so named because they appear to streak out of a point (called the radiant) in the constellation Orion -- will peak on October 21st. Sky watchers north of the equator with dark clear skies will spot 15 to 20 meteors each hour before dawn.

"Earth comes close to the orbit of Halley's Comet twice a year, once in May and again in October," explains Don Yeomans, manager of NASA's Near-Earth Object Program at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Although the comet itself is rarely nearby -- it's beyond the orbit of Saturn now -- Halley's dusty debris constantly moves through the inner solar system and causes the two regular meteor showers.

foggy, no chance of spotting meteors

Never say never 

In this case, it was no chance as the fog stayed till sun rise and that was it until tonight

What will the weather bring tonight?

Yes here too. Sun set was good with very few clouds but the best time for the meteors is supposed to be just before dawn.

 ... Now we can only hope it clears up during the night 

Got up before 6am to see if I could spot any more meteors, as before dawn was supposed to be the best time and yes you guessed it - it was


foggy

I had a look last night, didn't see any, and I may too have overslept... But looks like the fog would have prevented me seeing them anyway 

Maybe next time we get the chance to spot some meteors the weather won't let us down? 

Oh, that's great, hopefully we will have more luck
