For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 4 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 6 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S). Rates are reduced during this period due to interfering moonlight.
The AMS has received few reports (6 so far) of a rare daylight fireball event over Georgia on Wednesday June 8th 2016 around 07:45am EDT (11:43 UT).
For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates for this period should be near 8 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 12 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S).
For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 9 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 12 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S). The actual rates will also depend on factors such as personal light...
Another slow week for meteors: for morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 6 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 11 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S).
During this period the moon reaches its full phase on Saturday May 21st. This is the worst time to try and view meteor activity as the glare from the moon will obscure all but the brightest meteors :(
For morning observers the estimated total hourly meteor rates should be near 8 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 15 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S).
For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates for this week should be near 15 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 25 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S).

The Eta Aquariids (ETA) are active between April 19 and May 28. The strongest activity is usually seen near May 7, when rates can reach 25-30 meteors per hour as seen from the tropical areas of the Earth.

Lyrid meteors should begin appearing on April 18th and will reach maximum activity 4 nights later. Rates at maximum are normally 10-15 per hour but the full moon will severely reduce this number.
For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates for this week should be near 8 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 11 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S).
Meteor activity picks up a bit during April as the Lyrids become active during the month. They are active from the 18th through the 25th, with a pronounced maximum on the 22nd...
The estimated total hourly meteor rates for evening observers this week is near 3 for observers located in the northern hemisphere and 4 for observers located south of the equator. For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 5 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 7 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S).

For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 8 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 14 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S). During this period the moon reaches its first quarter phase on Tuesday March 15th...
While March is the least active month for shower meteor activity (no major annual showers are active this month), Northern spring is a good time to see fireballs. In the weeks around the start of spring, NASA noticed that the appearance rate of fireballs can increase by as much as 30 percent.
For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 8 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 13 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S). The actual rates will also depend on factors such as personal light and motion perception...
As seen from the northern hemisphere, March is the slowest month for meteor activity. No major annual showers are active and only a few very weak minor showers produce activity this month.
For morning observers the estimated total hourly rates should be near 4 as seen from mid-northern latitudes (45N) and 8 as seen from tropical southern locations (25S)... It's a slow week for meteors: watch for fireballs!
