Fair
7:57 AM

Best color is when the sky has actually looked its best, learned from 4 well-rated past sunrises here.
Meteor shower
Orionids
Active, around 9 an hour
Best around 5:52 AM +1 tomorrow morning
Starting tonight7:52 PM – 6:29 AM+1
The rate at the top is how many you might really see from a dark spot here, allowing for how high the shower climbs and for moonlight. "Under a perfect sky" is the best case. The bar also counts the forecast cloud at the best time, so a clouded-out night sits at the bottom, as does rain on the radar now.
Also from Halley's Comet. Fast meteors that often leave glowing trails.

Now: Low, held back by sky glow
Best around 9:36 PM this morning
Starting tonight8:18 PM – 6:03 AM+1
These are now, with the satellite and the rain radar. The bar is the best half hour of the dark: how dark the sky is, the cloud, rain, the Moon's glare and the light pollution here, each taking its share off a perfect night.
