... that the skies will be clear!
We are alternating between heavy rain and glorious sunshine at the moment here in Holland.

We've been in the high-90s for the past week with a thick evil haze. 
But all this yucky weather is supposed to clear out at the weekend so I'm planning on clear skies. 
Just you for the list of observers?

So far... but I'll try some recruiting via email with some of my friends 
I am sure I can round up a few willing watchers!
Galaxy Babe was keen last year for example

Brilliant Daubers, you're on the list.
btw: What should I put down as a location for you?
Something vague is fine if you don't want to list a town.

Well NY's weather forcast is calling for rain. Hopefully they are wrong. If they are I'll be out there.

Hungerford, Berkshire, England is the closest town, hopefully i'll be on Coombe Hill at about 295m off sea level. I hope the weather stays nice.

Cloud, and too much of it at that. I'm not happy and I'm ill. Why does it have to be so cloudy when there is a meteor shower?
I'll keep hoping.

It was completely clouded over in Ireland
Actually, that above statement is a classic example of stating the bleeding obvious! When is it not completely clouded over in Ireland?

It was clear here last night and I actually got to see about 7 in an hour. I breefly fell asleep outside too. It made me feel better.
The seeing meteors not the sleeping.
