We do not have precise maps of the comet debris stream, and are unable to predict exactly when a meteor shower will start or stop, or how intense it will be.
However, you will generally see more meteors after midnight, because of the direction of the Earth's movement in its orbit. Because of the way the Earth moves and spins, the sunrise terminator (line between darkness and daytime) is the "leading edge" of the Earth's orbit, and so more meteors are expected between midnight and sunrise than at other times. The Perseid shower will enhance the background rate of "shooting stars" all during the night of August 11-12, wherever you are. Astronomers have predicted two Perseid peaks, at about 0100 and 0530 GMT on August 12th, corresponding to 2100 and 0130 Eastern Daylight Time (Montreal, Toronto, New York, etc.). Neither of these predicted occasions is too useful anywhere east longitude, on account of the waning gibbous moon and eventual daylight; but there should still be something to watch for at any time during the night of 11 to 12 August. The Perseids Meteor shower will be displaying approximately 40 to 60 metoeors an hour on August 12 2008. I've read that showtime will begin around 11:30 p.m. in my area (the midwest, usa). The radiant is near the Double Cluster in Perseus. This constellation rises in the northeast around 11 p.m. The meteors will appear to "rain" into the sky and will shoot across any portion of the sky so just look up. Enjoy.

When will be the next meteor shower in 2014?
Small meteors hit the Earth every minute of each day. Larger meteors, big enough to be visible, hit the Earth several times each hour. In a "meteor shower", you may see over a hundred meteors an hour. Big meteors, big enough to hit the Earth, happen a few times every day. There are dozens of meteorite museums all over the country. Really big meteors, enough to cause a lot of damage, are fairly rare, fortunately. The last REALLY big meteor landed in Siberia, 100 years ago; it caused as much damage as an atomic bomb! Fortunately, very few people lived in Siberia back then.
