The pi Puppids are a meteor shower associated with the comet 26P/Grigg-Skjellerup.

The meteor stream is viewable around April 24 but only in years around the parent comet's perihelion date, the next being in 2023.

However, in 1999 the planet Jupiter perturbed the comet's perihelion to beyond Earth's orbit, and it is uncertain how strong the shower will be in the future.

They were discovered in 1972 and have been observed about every 5 years - at each perihelion passage of the comet - but often at very low rates per hour.

With a large error bar, the Pi Puppids may have briefly reached a Zenithal hourly rate of around 380 on 17 April 2019.
