Kappa Ursae Majorids (KUM) is a minor meteor shower associated with the constellation Ursa Major. It is usually active annually from October 28 to November 17, with a peak around November 6.

The radiant point of this shower is near the star Kappa Ursae Majoris, located at right ascension 10:27 and declination +42°. Meteors from this shower enter the atmosphere at a velocity of approximately 65 km/s.^[1]^[2] KUM is a weak shower, typically producing less than one meteor per hour, making observation challenging.^[3]
