Daniel sounds like a great show!
the height of the radiant or time when shower radiant crosses meridian also matters in the equation, and the taurids radiants are highest aound 12:47 in pre DS time, they are unusually high up at/near midnight for a decent little shower btw - unlike the opposite case leonids for instance, at our lat. which isnt till nearer to dawn, but then you throw again into equation the time the peak hits/ what predicted world timeline/long. it favours/optimum times, its not easy to figure out unless you study the form a bit. even then theres the weather/moon on top of that
