Meteor activity kicks into high gear in August as seen from the  northern
hemisphere. The main reason for all this activity is the Perseid  shower 
that
peaks on August 12.

To augment Bob Lunsford's always great meteor summary, here is my Night Sky 
 column on the 2009 Perseids.  It includes links to Mikhail Maslov's and 
Jeremie Vaubaillon's sites concerning  this year's expected enhanced Perseid 
activity.
