Leonid meteor shower 2024: How to see it

Wait until after midnight when the constellation of Leo rises in the east. Find the Plough and trace a line down from the two stars on the right until you find Regulus, the brightest star in the constellation of Leo.

The meteors will appear to radiate from the head of the lion, just above Regulus.

You will need to stay away from city lights and give yourself a good 20 minutes to let your eyes adjust to the darkness.

Finally, wrap up warmly. Where clear skies last through the night temperatures are likely to drop below freezing.

If you do capture any good meteor pictures, you can upload them to BBC Weather Watchers and we might use them in our broadcasts.
