I should have mentioned that on those nights when your viewing is poor but you still want to see the show you can usually go to space.com. The Leonids peak next month.

The Taurids should be visable for the next 10 days or so with bright meteors on display
" The Taurids are a particularly large collection of meteoroids, so the Earth takes several weeks to pass through them. They are also made up of unusually large particles, so while they are relatively few in number on a given night, they cause a disproportionate number of very bright meteors, which astronomers call "fireballs."
Because the Taurids last for several weeks, they have been divided into two separate showers because their radiant moves during that time. The "South Taurids" peak on Thursday (Nov. 5), and the "North Taurids" peak a week later on Thursday (Nov. 12)"
