I heard that it's 12 august this year. but not sure bout it and i cant find anything on any sites either. Any idea what date would it be? And yeah, whether we are fortunate enough to have clear skies for it.

if i remember, phoenicids are unpredictable, ranging from minor shower to huge storms yearly (not sure if it is the phoenicids)
