Too far ahead for a weather forecast. These are the sun's own times - they will not change.
Meteor shower
Perseids
Active, around 54 an hour

The night9:38 PM – 5:07 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.
The most dependable shower of the year, on warm summer nights in the north.
Milky Way
Milky Way
Good viewing
Visible from 10:02 PM
The bright center of the Milky Way: when it is above the horizon with the sky fully dark and the Moon set, brought down for how dark the sky is here (estimated from the towns around by Walker's law) and for cloud where the forecast reaches.
Moon
Waxing crescent
16% lit
10:29 AM – 9:59 PM
Between the two 4° marks the Moon is clear of haze and most of what stands on the horizon.
