When to watch


The best time to watch is between midnight and dawn Wednesday. Forecasters say the best stretch could come between 4 a.m. and 5 a.m. ET (1-2 a.m. PT), which would be after daybreak in Europe. Some Perseids might be visible late Tuesday night, and Wednesday night into Thursday morning could prove worthwhile, too.
full article here if you are interested in photographing or just watching. The moon is about full - so that may hamper the photography part.. but should still be good to watch .... if you're up that late/early
