N. America and especially the UK will be prime viewing locations, assuming clear skies... starting right about midnight-ish. ;D
Supposed to be very good this year; I'm going to see if there's a hole in these damn clouds...

Anyone remember the big meteor shower back in November of 2001? It was supposedly one of the biggest in a couple hundred years. That was an incredible show.... 8)

I'll look tonight and hope to see some...

I remember that one...the night we had so much fog you could barely see a foot in front of you :-/  Same thing when the northern lights were visible from here ::)

As for tonights.  Fairly clear skys but just enough hazy fog you couldnt see it :(

To observe an amazing shower of no-gooders/waste-of-timers, etc, you only have to pop into Simviation.
