Di name Strawberry Moon dey deceiving as di Moon no dey actually pink or red for colour.

E was named after di harvest season observed by indigenous Americans and signalled di time of year wey wild strawberries were harvested.
Full Moons were historically given names to help track time and seasons.
BBC West weather presenter, Sara Thornton, talk say: “Last week’s heatwave and record-breaking temperatures are just a memory now, with West and South-Westerly winds bringing respite thanks to cooler Atlantic air and less settled conditions.
“Unfortunately for moon-gazers that also means more cloud and some patchy drizzle over the West tonight, obscuring a clear view of the Strawberry Moon.
“There is the chance of the cloud breaking a little as the night wears on, so it might be worth setting the alarm for around 03:00 BST to try your luck and have a quick peek through the window.”
