Look toward the constellation Gemini

To note this is for the United States only by the look of it.

It's raining. First Meteor shower since I got a celestial telescope too. Son of a bitch.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Truthfully I cannot recall the mechanics of meteor showers but it seems to me that since Gemini is near Orion, and Orion anyone can identify and Orion is in the sky (mostly in the northern hemisphere) that most all of us can view it.

I dunno about our Aussie friends and the other Timbuktu ones. Sorry if you cannot see Gemini.

It'll just be in opposite relation to your position on Earth once you cross between Northern and Southern hemisphere.

Compared to celestial objects, you'd be upside down to the orientation the objects are normally observed at (since the majority of people on the planet are in the Northern hemisphere)

If it didn't happen to be dark enough where you were at the time, then obviously you wouldn't be able to see it.
