Find dark skies away from city lights, look in the area of the sky just under Cassiopea - towards the north-east.
Click for more information

From the above site: The shower peaks at a specific point in time, estimated to be 10:00 UT (6:00 EDT/3:00 PDT) on 12 August and its at this time that the shower will peak with around 60 visible meteors per hour. Dark clear skies will be needed to see this level of activity, but unlike last year the light of the moon will not interfere with observation.

Solid cloud here all week. While the east coast is not known for its clear skies (at least up here), we did enjoy weeks of cloudless nights right up to last week. Figures...

Oh well, maybe I'll catch the Orionids in October.
