It's that time of year again. One year ago my children and I lay on a big inflatable mattress in the garden to fully appreciate the majesty of the French night sky with its low light pollution levels. This year, the children are also in the garden, installed in tents and will lay with their heads sticking out of the doors.
Last year we lost count of the streaking meteor trails that cut through the darkness overhead. This year we may be hard-pressed to see any as a thin veil of cloud is even now gathering above.
In any case, wherever you may be tonight, if you've a clear sky above you, you have a great chance of seeing many hundreds of meteors.
