The Lyrids go from the 16th to the 26th. The peak will be in the middle, the peak is reckoned to be 22nd.

When it's dark and clear

[richbyers]

guess the forecast between 16th and 26 is going to be cloudy rain and snow

[Grunthos]

Lyrid max may be April 22nd 0500hrs with a Zenith Hourly Rate (ZHR) of 10-18/hr (Moon will be 1 day old).

The Lyrids are normally rather moderate in activity but fine displays were seen in 1803, 1922 and 1982.

Very favourable predicted this year.

Clear skies here in Wrexham tonight. Seen some great shooting stars but me, the missus and 2 friends are going into the countryside for a few hours tomorrow night to see what we can see. Hopefully it's another clear night for us.
