A showers rating is a measurement of its strength and reliability. The 4 classes are described below:

I - The strongest annual showers with ZHR's always above 10 at maximum activity. 

II - Dependable minor showers with ZHR's of a least 3 at maximum activity. 

III - Showers with irregular rates. The display may be strong one year and totally absent the next. 

IV - Weak minorshowers that are difficult to separate from the sporadic background. These showers are best left to the most experienced observers who use plotting and velocity to determine a meteors classification.
