<p>You can see perseid meteors from all the Northern Hemisphere, and the Northern part of the Southern Hemisphere. Provided the sky is clear, the moon has set, and Perseus is above the horizon you will see meteors. This shower has a wide peak, so you can see them over several nights.</p>

[This question](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseids) is similar. With the radiant at around +58 degrees declination, observers south of **approximately** 32 degrees South will see very few, if any, meteors.

You can see perseid meteors from all the Northern Hemisphere, and the Northern part of the Southern Hemisphere. Provided the sky is clear, the moon has set, and Perseus is above the horizon you will see meteors. This shower has a wide peak, so you can see them over several nights.
