The Lyrid meteor shower – April’s shooting stars – lasts from about April 16 to 25. The peak morning is April 22, but you might also see meteors in the Lyrid shower before and after that date. In 2013, there’s a bright moon in the sky after the Lyrid peak, and full moon comes on April 25, with a partial lunar eclipse on that date. What are the Lyrid meteors like? They tend to be bright and often leave trails. About 10-20 meteors per hour at peak can be expected around the peak morning on April 22, 2013. Plus, the Lyrids are known for uncommon surges that can sometimes bring the rate up to 100 per hour. Those rare outbursts are not easy to predict, but they’re one of the reasons the tantalizing Lyrids are worth checking out around the peak morning (April 22). The radiant for this shower is in the constellation Lyra, which rises in the northeast at about 10 p.m. on April evenings. In 2013, the waxing gibbous moon lights up the nighttime until the wee hours of the morning. However, the greatest number of Lyrid meteors commonly fall in the dark hours just before dawn, so trying watching this meteor shower after moonset and before dawn on April 22.

My sister lives in Clevedon, and it's just started to rain there. Doesn't last long, does it.

still dry and sunny here with those wispy clouds (cirrus) i think, hopefully the rain will stick to the coast.

madmen, looking out of my front window I can see its clouding over over ashton court and beyond to the north so that means clevedon and portishead, hopefully it will be clear for you.
