Any idea what places around the world this can be seen?
For observers in North America, about 20 meteors per hour should be visible in a clear, dark sky. The meteors can appear anywhere in the sky, but they will seem to come from a point called the radiant in the constellation Lyra the Harp, which gives the shower its name. Lyra's bright white star Vega will be almost at the radiant, and the meteor count should be highest when Vega is well above the eastern horizon between late evening and dawn.

Thanks guys. Although, I don't think I will be able to catch it due to somewhat dark cloudy skies in my area. It looks as if it's going to be raining tonight. What a shame.
I hope those who watch it enjoys it

It is half past midnight here in Europe and i have just seen a bright, blue light flash in the sky. For a sec i waited for the thunder(sound) but it never came so i think i've seen a meteor flash for the first time in my life. Awesome !!

Thank you for reminding me of the showers! We are in the DFW area, and unfortunately, due to the brightness of the city lights we only saw one in about a 15 minute period. Still though, it was neat to see even the one that we did!!!
