I heard on the radio that, on the average, one should
be able to see one meteor every two minutes, if there
are no clouds. No standard deviation was mentioned.

In the western hemisphere, that means tonight and tomorrow
night are about equally close to the maximum. The maximum
is plenty broad.

The usual advice is to lie down with your feet facing
northeast.
