How Many Weeks Until Geminids 2026?

Geminids 2026 falls on Sunday, December 13, 2026 — a Sunday. As of today that is 51 days, or 7 weeks and 2 days. The table below lists every "weeks to go" milestone between now and the date, so you can work backwards from the day itself instead of counting forward from today.

Why the week count moves the way it does

Weeks are the unit people actually plan in. Deadlines, notice periods and rotas run in weeks, which is why a week count tends to be more useful than a raw day count once you are more than a fortnight out. Note that the two figures answer slightly different questions: "how many weeks" is full weeks only, while "weeks and days" keeps the remainder.

About Geminids 2026

The Geminids meteor shower peaks on the night of December 13, 2026 (December 13/14). The best meteor shower of the year, no contest: 120–150 bright, slow, colorful meteors per hour at peak from asteroid 3200 Phaethon — and it happens in December, so dress like it.

Best practice for any meteor shower: dark sky, no telescope, eyes adjusted for 30 minutes, look halfway up toward the radiant's constellation. The counter above runs to the peak night; meteors are visible several nights either side.
