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 skyweek.wordpress.com/2025/08/ 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 globalmeteornetwork.org/flux/ and meteorflux.org/ resp. and from radio echo data published in jpn.iprmo.org/post/flash/per-2 - the peak is still ahead (and should arrive in a few hours).

From the global video data plot #Perseids 2025 peaked sharply and right as predicted around 20:00 UTC on 12 August (which is what - see kikimoreau.shinyapps.io/Sollon - the solar elongation 140.0° represents).
