They're still relatively sparse, but shooting conditions will be good all week, and the numbers will increase.

Meteor Shower Report, morning of Aug 2
I left a camera out shooting 11 pm – 2 am the night of Aug 1/2 and didn't pick up any Perseid meteors, but the hourly rate should improve each night through Aug 12 or so, and the shooting conditions will be great for the next few night s as well.
On that same night (technically yesterday morning) I did pick up a few small meteors on a second camera directed southeast towards several smaller meteor showers for 5 hours, but they didn't seem frequent or dramatic enough to be worth prioritizing your compositions in that direction.

NASA says the annual Perseid meteor shower produces more fireballs than any other. Although the shower’s peak is still some days away, the fireballs are here!
