That's generally a good time for any shower.
After mignight, the earth is colliding 'head on' with the meteors. Before midnight, they have to 'catch up'.
The best time is a balancing act between the path of the earth, the height of the radiant, and the local sunrise time.
I will be out in the countryside on the 15th, and will try to have an observing session. Probably won't be as good as this weekend, but worth a go.
