Weather query in Changle over the years
It's almost the same anywhere in our country, as long as the local weather is good. Recently, there have been thunderstorms in many places in China, and the thick clouds are the most unfavorable factors. I didn't see it in Shanghai last night!
The perseid gamma meteor shower is a fixed meteor shower every year. It is one of the most famous meteor showers, because it is not only abundant, but also almost never misses the starry sky in summer. It appears stably at a fixed time every year and is the most active and frequently observed meteor shower. It is also the best meteor shower for amateur meteor observers and the first of the three periodic meteor showers in the whole year. It appears from June 25th to August 18 every year, and is expected to occur in the afternoon of August 13. (That is to say, there is Perseid meteor shower at this time of year, but theoretically it is the largest in the afternoon of August 13, Beijing time in China).
At most, China is not in the best observation position. Although this great date falls on the fourteenth day of the lunar calendar this year, the full moon will bring serious light damage and make the observation effect of meteor shower somewhat discounted. But the biggest influence of moonlight is photographic observation. If a long exposure time is used, some dark meteors will be submerged in the background skylight. The influence of visual inspection is relatively small.
It is worth mentioning that the Perseid meteor shower occurs in summer night, which is more suitable for field observation than Gemini and quadrant meteor showers.
Unlike solar eclipses, meteor showers can be seen half a world away. It can be seen almost all over the country, and so can Changle City, Fujian Province. You don't need binoculars and other equipment, just watch the meteor shower with the naked eye, and the viewing angle is wider. Because the light pollution in the city center is serious now, if the weather is fine (there are thunderstorms in many parts of the country these days, which is the most unfavorable place), I suggest you choose an open place without light pollution in the suburbs of your city and look to the northeast after 23 o'clock in August 12- 13. Stay with your close lover and wait patiently for a while. I believe there will be gains. Good luck!
