The Southern Taurids are a complex shower made up of two main components, the annual component which peaks on October 14th and the fireball swarm component which peaks on November 4th. Since 2025 is a swarm year, we will list November 4th as the peak. The Taurids (both branches) are rich in fireballs and are often responsible for increased number of fireball reports from September through November.
