It's only 1 week away till the peak on Sunday night/Monday morning. Should be good this year - the moon is out of the way and the predictions say up to 80 should be visible every hour (from a dark sky).
The nights leading up to it (and even the night after) should also be pretty good, so consider going out to look for them then, if you can't make the peak... the weather can sometimes screw up your plans, so if you want to see them, try and keep your options open - especially here in the UK!
