How the #Perseids 2025 performed: global activity profiles from two video networks and radio echos place a single pretty pronounced peak around 23:00 and 18:00 UTC on 12 August, respectively, perhaps probing different dust populations. Visual data (not shown) have the peak around 21:00 UTC but nearly level activity until 2:00 UTC on 13 August: see https://skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/08/04/allgemeines-live-blog-ab-dem-4-august-2025/#Aug16 for the sources and more numbers.

How are the #Perseids 2025 doing so far? Here are the current live plots from two different video camera network data published by https://globalmeteornetwork.org/flux/ and https://meteorflux.org/ resp. and from radio echo data published in https://jpn.iprmo.org/post/flash/per-2025.html - the peak is still ahead (and should arrive in a few hours).
