Ireland's October bank holiday, the last Monday of October, began in 1977. It falls just before Halloween - Samhain, the Gaelic festival that marked the end of the harvest and the start of winter.

The estimate 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.
