Meteor rates continue to pick up as we now have 3 active minor showers. In Tucson, the monsoon is back bringing its usual assortment of rain and clouds. In contrast, the weather has been much better for Bob in San Diego.
From Bob’s notes: “It was clear but hazy the entire night. Meteor rates have increased significantly the past few nights and should remain strong for the next month as several meteor showers are increasing in strength.”
