Key steps to catch a meteor shower tonight
- Check clear-sky conditions: local forecast for Buffalo, NY should be dry with low humidity and little moonlight for the darkest skies.
- Look for showers with peak activity or ongoing activity tonight: Perseids, Geminids, or any newly reported showers depending on current year. Nighttime hours after midnight are usually best.
- Find a dark-sky spot: away from city lights, with an unobstructed view of the northern sky if the forecast suggests northern radiant activity.
Practical viewing tips
- Go late, after 11 p.m. local time, and stay until dawn if possible.
- Lie back on a lawn chair or blanket; use a reclining position to scan the sky.
- Allow 20–30 minutes for your eyes to adjust; avoid looking at phones or bright lights.
