"Lyrids max Apr 22d11h UT
Chart. Lyrid activity can be seen from Apr 18-25 each year. For observers at northern latitudes, the Lyrid radiant is above the horizon all night. As for many of the major meteor showers, observed rates pick up as the radiant altitude increases during the night, so meteor watches after midnight are the most productive. The Lyrids are the main night time meteor shower of the spring months for northern hemisphere observers. Although they don't usually produce observed rates comparable with major showers that occur later in the year, the Lyrids do stand out relative to the low background activity of the spring months. Some intense but brief Lyrid outbursts have occasionally been seen, such as in 1982.
Unfortunately, Full Moon in 2013 occurs on Apr 25 and, although the Lyrid peak occurs three days before this, the 83% illuminated waxing gibbous Moon will be on the Leo/Sextans border on the morning of April 22 and, for UK based observers, will not set until morning twilight is underway. Hence moonlight will seriously hinder Lyrid observations this year. "
