From the DMS datalist; Solar Longitude is approximate as all these are low
rate showers. I've listed dates with ZHR > 1; I generally use these as
start and end dates; although with plotting, you can look slightly earlier
and later.
Tau Cetids
( Cet )Max Solar Long 95 (Jun 26/27) ZHR Max 3.6 +/- 1.1
ZHR > 1 Solar Long 90-100 (Jun 21 to July 2)
Velocity 66 kps
Psi Cygnids
( oCy ) ZHR 2.5 +/- 0.8
ZHR > 1 ~ Sol Long 110-125, Max 116 (Jul 2 to 28; Jul 18/19)
Velocity 37 kps
Cygnids (IMO kappa Cygnids KCG)
( kCy ) ZHR 2.3 +/- 0.4
ZHR > 1 ~135-155; Max 146 (Aug 7-28; Aug19)
Velocity 27 kps
Leo Minorids (lMi)
ZHR 1.9 +/- 0.7
ZHR > 1 ~ 206-214 Max 209 (Oct 19-27; Oct22/23)
Velocity 61 kps
Note that all of these are very low rate showers, barely suitable for
counting. Accurate plotting, combined with speed estimates are required to
verify these shower members.
