This'll happen Monday night, running from around midnight (going into Tuesday) until dawn Tuesday.
"The Geminids are predicted to reach peak activity on Monday at 22:20 GMT, which is 5:20 p.m. EST. Locations from Europe and North Africa east to central Russian and Chinese longitudes are in the best position to catch the very crest of the shower, when the rates conceivably could exceed 120 per hour, or two every minute. Maximum rates persist at only marginally reduced levels for some 6 to 10 hours, so other places, such as North America, should enjoy some fine Geminid activity as well."
