According to a report by Live Science, two meteor showers will peak together on the night of July 29-30, giving you the best chance of seeing up to 25 meteors per hour in dark skies. The absence of the moon makes viewing even better.
The main shower, the Southern Delta Aquarids, will produce up to 20 meteors per hour. These meteors are known for their slow-moving, bright trails. The shower is active from July 18 to August 12, but the best time to see them is from July 24 to 31, peaking on July 29-30. The shower is best seen from the Southern Hemisphere, but people in Qatar and the Northern Hemisphere can enjoy the view by looking up at the southern sky before dawn.
The Alpha Capricornids meteor shower will also join in. It adds 5 to 10 bright and colorful meteors per hour. These “shooting stars” are actually small space rocks burning up in Earth’s atmosphere. The Delta Aquarids come from Comet 96P/MacColls, and the Alpha Capricornids come from Comet 169P/Neet. For the best view, get up early on July 30 and look south just before sunrise.
