.I had the usual overcast sky and didn't see any Orionids - or even the full Moon! But here are two reports from southern England:
Unfortunately [our favourite dark sky spot] wasn't actually that dark due to the blazing near full moon but not a lot we could do about that. At approximately 2210 we were greeted by the most amazing fireball, originating from Orion. It lasted for approximately 4 beautiful long seconds and was red and blue/purple with lots of green on the outside.
I saw one really bright one around 2am as I was locking up to go to bed so obviously then I had to don the thermals and sit on my balcony for an hour until I spotted another one.
Although they were watching for Orionids, there are also Taurids into November - they are known for being slow and colorful.
