‘The Perseids run from July 17–August 23, peaking overnight around 11/12 and 12/13 August.

But in 2025, the full Sturgeon Moon in the middle of August will severely wash out all but the brightest meteors.

So don’t wait for the peak to do your Perseid watching. 18–28 July, especially around the 24 July new Moon, will give you darker skies…’ —Iain Todd via BBC Sky at Night Magazine
