Marco,
            Your optimism is a bit contagious...dot it is not promising here for the Geminids, either.  My persistence in 1999 paid off and I was rewarded with about an hour of clear skies and I observed almost 60 meteors before the clouds rolled back in and daylight dawned.  Perhaps we could pull off a bit of an upset this year, too?

Hello All,
 
 
The Geminids from Brazil won't promise to be a great event. Once it will be possible to be seen in Southern Hemisphere, at least from NE, there is a huge curtain of clouds that won't give me any chance to have clear skies.
 
Although, I will be aware and counting with a bit of luck, hoping to report to MeteorObs of what I will get among the days of 13th to 15th of Dec. My methodology do not include any visit to the rural area nearby for observations. I will, if the weather changes, try to observe the twilight meteors as centered in my usual Obs site. I will also will carry some NAMM charts, binoculars, papers and pencils, watch, etc. Well, I will be very confident that I will "see" some of them!!!!
 
So, having nothing else to report by now, except for the weather which is being since Monday as cloudy as never, I will be awaiting for any "news" from Geminids.
 
My best regards. Clear skies,
 
Marco Valois from Recife
