I know i've seen more meteors on my recent nights out scope observing.

--------------------------------------

Does it seem that you've been seeing more meteors when you've been outside at night during July's new-Moon period? No, it's not your imagination — and it's not just because the nights are getting longer.

It happens that no strong meteor showers take place from February through June. And most of the weak showers at that time of year are best viewed from the Southern Hemisphere. Meanwhile, those of us at mid-northern latitudes suffer a long drought. But things start to improve dramatically at the end of July.
