KOIN 6 Chief Meteorologist Josh Cozart shares Portland’s time to see the Orionid meteor shower in October 2025

Stargazers should look to the southern horizon after dark. The new moon should make spotting the meteors easier, with a total of 10 meteors per hour possible. Clouds are expected to increase across the Pacific Northwest by the middle of the week. The best chance to see the peak of the meteor shower is Tuesday evening, before clouds increase early Wednesday morning. Getting away from city lights will give sky watchers a better chance at this year’s Orionid meteor shower.
