The meteor shower is primarily a visual spectacle with no direct risks to the public. However, light pollution in urban areas may significantly reduce visibility, especially in the northern hemisphere where the meteors will appear closer to the horizon. Additionally, the moon's brightness, at 84% full tonight, may further limit the number of visible meteors, reducing the hourly rate to fewer than 10 in some areas. Southern hemisphere viewers are likely to experience better visibility due to the meteors' higher position in the sky.
