Hey with today's weather we were lucky to see the sun. If I see a meteor I'll be expecting an extinction event to follow!

Seen about a dozen in ~30mins (live in the SW, got clear skies & just outside local town). Only a couple were really decent though.
Lots of slow-moving ones too, assuming they aren't all aircraft that is!

Just got back from Nant-yr-Arian and managed to see 7 over an hour or so. Not had a chance to process anything from the camera properly but here's a pre-edited RAW straight from the camera

Saw a few in Malvern, cloud had passed by time I went out 20 minutes or so ago...less light pollution in the sticks as well so night sky is pretty impressive. Got hungry though after about 10 minutes. 😉

I saw 3 in about 10 minutes in Lancaster, but they only last about 100mS, which is less than my reaction time 🙁 Not that the camera was pointing the right way anyway...
