The shower, which is made up of ice and dust fragments from Halley’s Comet as it enters the earth’s atmosphere, should give us about 20 shooting stars per hour.
According to the Met Office, the Meteor shower will be at its most impressive just before dawn - with experts suggesting you head out to look at it 15 minutes before you want to see it to allow for you eyes to adjust.
Best places to watch it
To see shooting stars you need a cloudless, clear night with little light pollution. So the further from the city you can go, the better.
There are several places that have been given Dark Sky Discovery Status, which means they are excellent for watching things like shooting stars.
