The weather has turned increasingly unsettled this week, with cloud and rain interspersed with clearer intervals and misty conditions.
However, cloud and showers on Tuesday will clear through the evening and so there should be plenty of clear skies across the UK.
The lack of moonlight due to a new Moon will help your chance of spotting some meteors.
While meteor activity will then start to decrease, there will still be a good opportunity to catch some shooting stars – meteors – in Scotland on Wednesday night.
But otherwise elsewhere across the UK, cloud and rain will spread northward and obstruct any view of the night sky.
By the end of the week, clearer and colder conditions are expected to develop, with better night-sky viewing prospects towards the later stages of the Orionids. And, if you miss the peak, the display continues until 7 November.
