I doubt that many of us will be able to see this, due to all these storms & continued cloudiness. However, if you can't see them, then maybe you can listen for them with Upper HF, and Lower VHF, Meteor Scatter.  https://hamsci.org/msqp-rules   And, don't forget that you can listen for FM scatter from weak / empty FREQ's from 87.9FM - 107.9FM. A 30", 1/4-wave, whip antenna and a good car stereo works great for this.

Yeah... Didn't see, or hear crap from Perseid this year. What a dud...
