Perseids are beginning to rise in early August, and meteor showers are the peak of activity between August 12 and August 13, 2010. There are about 50 meteors per hour expected. Comet Perseid meteor origin is 109P/Swift-Tuttle and they emanate from the constellation Perseus. The best time to look them in the early evening hours, when the crescent moon sets, and just before dawn. The darker the sky, the more visible meteors. Perseid meteors are considered the best visible in 2010 and should be the most effective meteor. Meteora, which produce Perseids are among the best and most visible bright meteor showers.
The rate of meteors is about 61 kilometers per second or 38 kilometers per second. You can find more information about meteor showers on the website of NASA.
