The Perseid meteor shower will be active between 17 July and 24 August 2022, with the number of meteors increasing each night until it reaches a peak in mid August, after which it will tail off. This year's peak is on the night of the 12th and before dawn of the 13th. Unfortunately, this year's peak falls around the time of the full Moon, resulting in poorer light conditions. The darker the sky, the better for watching meteors.
