What this count leaves out
This count is Monday to Friday only and does not strip out public holidays. Those vary by country, state and employer, so subtract the ones you actually get from the month that contains them. If you work a non-standard rota, the weekend column is the figure to adjust rather than the weekday column.
About Orionids 2027
The Orionids meteor shower peaks on the night of October 21, 2027 (October 21/22). Halley's Comet's second annual gift: fast meteors radiating from Orion's club in the pre-dawn hours of late October.
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.
