Usually you can see Mercury for several weeks at a time. The visibility periods are not the same from year to year, since Mercury's orbit around the Sun is not synchronized with that of Earth.
According to data from the German publication "Kosmos Himmelsjahr 2014", as of July 2014, Mercury reaches it greatest distance from the Sun on July 12. Around those days, you might be able to see it in the morning, right before sunrise. For people who live in the northern hemisphere, "Himmelsjahr" says it will be easier to see after that date.

When Mercury and the Earth form nearly a right angle, with the Sun at the vertex, then Mercury will be visible at around sunrise or sunset - depending on which side of the sun it is.
