Perseids 2024: Smoke and Clouds Block View | Calgary News

Missed the Perseid meteor shower? Don’t panic — it’s still possible to catch some shooting stars, but conditions are tricky. Wildfire smoke from British Columbia is clearing by tomorrow, but cloudy skies and thunderstorms are in the forecast, thanks to cold air colliding with warm winds. Meteors are tiny grains of space dust burning up at incredible speeds — you’ll need dark skies to see them, so head north or northeast of Calgary, away from city lights, and respect private property. Luck might still be on your side for a few bright flashes. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
