... Rates are estimated to be from 50-100 meteors per hour in prime observing conditions. But this is the so-called ZHR, or Zenithal Hourly Rate, which is the number of meteors per hour which would be seen by an experienced observer, with the radiant in the zenith, in a perfectly clear dark sky. ... The peak is expected to be at 23.30 UT so as the radiant (in the 'Sickle' of Leo) will not even have risen from most of Ireland by then, we will see very few meteors, if any, at that time. ...
