Meteors are time periodic, not location. The earth is passing through the remnants of a comet debris stream. The peak is nominally as we pass through the centre of that stream but that only means it is the date we should see the most meteors per hour, there is no guarantee.
There will probably be clouds that night anyway. I just try to get out any night it is clear. Or better, any early morning. Very early !
