I believe these peak on the 13-14th but are we able to see anything going on these nights leading up to it? With the amount of cloud this week during the nights I'm trying to grab any possible chance to get out and have a look!

They are given as 7th to 17th Dec with the peak on 13th.so there should be a few visible now.

This might explain the fog I have that prevents seeing anything.

This seems normal for any and every meteor shower.

you should see a few both before and after the peak but rates will be quite low. Have a look here for more info http://imo.net/calendar/2013

Thanks for the replies Have been trying to get out any time I can but the cloud cover is still atrocious here in cardiff and has been all week

Stood outside for about 20 mins last night between the clouds and saw just one. Fingers crossed tonight will be clearer.

Went outside at 12 last night stood for 10 minutes and saw 6 one was bright and long.

Saw one or two at around 12am, then the clouds rolled in and stayed there.
