The incredible annual phenomenon will light up the night sky in the countries in the northern hemisphere that includes the US, Canada, Russia and India.
This year, the peak of the meteor shower coincides with a moonless night, making viewing conditions even better.
However, it all depends on the cloud and the weather conditions, Mirror Online reported on Saturday.
The stargazers can best see the cosmic event between Wednesday evening and Thursday morning where they can view up to 100 meteors or ‘shooting stars’ an hour.
The shower is caused when the massive Swift-Tuttle comet loses parts of its celestial body as it enters the inner solar system.
Comet Swift-Tuttle last passed the Earth in 1992 and travels in a 133 year orbit around the sun.
