Key takeaway Further details on the best viewing times and locations are available from Click2Houston KPRC2 Local.
The Perseids meteor shower is expected to peak on Wednesday night into early Thursday morning. Viewing conditions are anticipated to be ideal due to the coincidence with a new moon, which will not wash out the meteors with bright moonlight.
In the Houston area, the number of meteors visible per hour will vary depending on the location. Residents in the suburbs may see around a dozen meteors per hour, while those in the city may see about half that number.
