How Many Weeks Until Quadrantids 2027?

Quadrantids 2027 falls on Sunday, January 3, 2027 — a Sunday. As of today that is 72 days, or 10 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 Quadrantids 2027

The Quadrantids meteor shower peaks on the night of January 3, 2027 (January 3/4). The year's first major meteor shower — short, sharp and often stormy, with peak rates of 60–200 meteors per hour compressed into just six hours.

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.
