Kazuhiro Osada and Ryuji Shimoji observed an outburst of the June Bootids ("Pons-Winneckids") on June 27, 1998. High activity continued for about 9 hours (10h15m - 19h00m UT), and the maximum occurred around 12h30m UT (lambda=95.693 degrees). The ZHR reached 270 at the maximum and the shower was rich in faint meteors, with a population index r=3.1. Most meteors were yellowish and slow with a short path, though brighter meteors left a short-living train. The members of the Nippon Meteor Society did follow-up observations and detected activity till July 2. The apparent radiant position was found at alpha=221 degrees and delta=+51 degrees (lambda=95.663 degrees, J2000), and the outburst is most likely a repitition of the 1916 outburst.
