According to latest estimates it should have a high peak on August 11
at 22h00 UT, where you could expect ( but meteor showers have the annoying
habbit to be a little unpredictable ) for a brief period hundreds of
meteors per hour. If the peak doesn't happen, you should expect about
50 meteors per hour all night long.
