The Delta Aquariid meteor shower starts tonight and will continue to peak until July 31st. This shower is visible as far north as Canada but the hourly rates of the number of meteors seen improves the farther south you are.
Here is an excellent article on how to see the meteor shower: http://www.skyandtelescope.com/community/skyblog/observingblog/Catch-a-Shooting-Star-216158451.html
And the best news is that this is just a warm up for the Perseid Meteor Shower which will delight us in August. I'll have more on that in the weeks to come.
Good hunting and clear skies!
