How Many Weeks Until Leonids 2026?

Leonids 2026 falls on Tuesday, November 17, 2026 — a Tuesday. As of today that is 25 days, or 3 weeks and 4 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 Leonids 2026

The Leonids meteor shower peaks on the night of November 17, 2026 (November 17/18). The legendary storm shower: usually 10–15 meteors per hour, but every ~33 years it erupts into thousands per hour (last storm: 2001). Radiates from the Lion.

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.
