Non-shining objects, looks like star but isnt.

e : non-shining doesnt mean it doesnt reflect the sun's light.

venus and jupiter are actually the 3rd and 4th brightest objects of the sky, after the sun and the moon, venus being the brighter and jupiter being more than 2 times as bright as Sirius

venus should appear slightly yellow, and theyre both close to each other, but theyre setting pretty fast, so theyre probably quite low already

then theyre either too low already or indeed dark clouds.

you should look out for them at around 18-20, should be pretty well-placed

meteors showers mostly span over considerable parts of continents, no major (major = pretty) ones are only limited to a single country afaik (at least in europe :p), let alone only a region of it

Almost as deep as Bryzgalov's thoughts on the universe.
