This year, 2014, is particularly favorable for watching this shower in late July, thanks to the new moon on July 26.
In years when the moon is out of the way, the broad maximum of this shower can be expected to produce 15 to 20 meteors per hour in the predawn hours around July 29. The downside is that a new moon coinciding with the peak of the Delta Aquarids means it’s pretty much a full moon that accompanies the peak mornings of the 2014 Perseid shower (August 11, 12 and 13).
