Diwali, the festival of lights, falls on the new moon of Ashvin (Kartika in northern calendars) - the darkest night of the month, lit with rows of oil lamps, diyas, candles and fireworks. It celebrates Lord Rama's return to Ayodhya and the victory of light over darkness: families clean and decorate their homes, worship Lakshmi, goddess of wealth, and share sweets. Sikhs mark Bandi Chhor Divas and Jains the nirvana of Mahavira on the same day.

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.

Not many meteors, but known for bright fireballs.

Also from Halley's Comet. Fast meteors that often leave glowing trails.
