Can I see the Geminid meteor shower from Guyana in December 2026?

Meteor shower · Sunday 13 December 2026

The verdict for Guyana

In reach from all of Guyana with the naked eye, and far better from a dark site than from town.

On the night of 13 to 14 December 2026, about 129 an hour from Aishalton's dark sky and about 16 from Georgetown's city sky, best around 2:00 am GYT with the radiant halfway up and the Moon down.

Times shown in Guyana time (UTC-4, no daylight saving).
