The Quadrantids can produce 100 meteors per hour, although many of them will be mag 1 or fainter – see the attached composite image of 83 meteors (65 Quadrantids) last night from one of my north-facing cameras.
They usually peak at around solar longitude 283.15, which equates to 2025 Jan 3 15:00 UT and it has a FWHM (full width half maximum) of about 14 hours, so visual and video observers are likely to miss the maximum this year and the best rates wil be seen in the morning of Jan 3 and on the evening of Jan 4. Radio workers should detect the Jan 3 daytime peak activity.
Alex.
