What Time Is The Meteor Shower Tonight?

[flobadob]

What is the best time to see a few meteors tonight in the Lyrid shower? Also is it in the east cos that's where I'm pointed?

Saw 3 since 10.30 but there are supposed to be 20 an hour

The report I read flobadob said the best places are to the west, west coast of Scotland, Ireland, Wales, I face west not seen anything yet:(

Midnight is as good a time as any (maximum darkness) and there's no moon.

Yes, east around midnight, swinging round to south, by the time the early birds come online.
