A tau Herculid meteor outburst or even storm was predicted to occur by several models around 5 UT on 31 May 2022 as a consequence of the break-up of comet 73P/Schwassmann-Wachmann 3 in 1995. The multi-instrument and multi-station experiment was carried out within the Czech Republic to cover possible earlier activity of the shower between 21 and 1 UT on 30/31 May. Aims. We report meteor shower activity that occurred before the main peak and provide a comparison with the dynamical simulations of the stream evolution. The physical properties of the meteoroids are also studied.
