Another good email alert is:

Subject: Perseid Meteor Shower Intensifies

Space Weather News for August 11, 2013
http://spaceweather.com

PERSEID METEOR SHOWER: The Perseid meteor shower is intensifying as Earth moves deeper into the debris stream of parent comet 109P/Swift-Tuttle.
International observers are reporting as many as 30 Perseids per hour from dark sky sites, a rate which could triple on August 12-13 when the shower peaks. Check http://spaceweather.com/for updates and observing tips.

GOT CLOUDS?  You can listen to the Perseid meteor shower on Space Weather Radio, which is monitoring signals from the USAF Space Surveillance Radar.
Every Perseid that flies over the radar makes an audible ping.  Hear the echoes at http://spaceweatherradio.com

SOLAR FLARE ALERTS: Would you like a call when solar flares are underway?
X-flare alerts are available from http://spaceweathertext.com/(text) and http://spaceweatherphone.com/(voice).
