How Many Weeks Until Ursids 2026?

Ursids 2026 falls on Tuesday, December 22, 2026 — a Tuesday. As of today that is 60 days, or 8 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 Ursids 2026

The Ursids meteor shower peaks on the night of December 22, 2026 (December 22/23). The year's quiet closer: a modest shower (5–10 per hour) radiating from Ursa Minor, occasionally surprising with outbursts — for the dedicated, on the longest nights.

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.
