What is happening in the sky? There are too many clouds! It’s summer – and the weather should be hot. Last year there was a heat wave in July. Some people had heat stroke. But today is not hot. Hypothermia is more likely! Perhaps tomorrow will be better. I can see neither stars nor moon tonight. There was a full moon on 5th July, but I didn’t see it either. It was cloudy then as well. The next full moon will be on Monday. Astrologers tell is it is the sign of the lion now. Leo began two days ago. Full moons have strange names in the Old Farmer's Almanac (founded 1792). It’s Buck Moon or Thunder Moon for July (amongst other names). Stags have antlers and there’s thunder in this month.
