The Effect of Visible or Not This Event
From the estimated data that appears, we can pay attention to the cuminating radian. The altitude can reach 59 to 76 degrees distance for the north. Therefore, this condition will affect the intensity of the rain.
At a certain point on the zenith or point in space, it can reach 3 meteors per hour. So that later we can see it clearly when there are no obstacles. For example the weather is sunny and not cloudy of course.
Pollution can also be an obstacle that causes this rain to not appear in the end. Reportedly along with this event there will be an Early New Moon Phase.
This will coincide with the configuration of the Sun, Moon and Earth in a right angle of 90 degrees. Usually the phase before the full moon.
