A full Strawberry Moon was visible in most parts of the world on June 5 and 6, 2020.
In Singapore, it turned full on June 6, 3:12am.
However, the moon did not glow with a pink hue as close-ups showed:
Some tried to take a photo with their phone, but all they got was a radiant glow:

Others, however, pulled off some magic by photographing a purplish moon:
Throughout the early hours of the morning from 3am onwards on June 7, the moon was obscured partially or fully by cloud cover.
At about 6am, the moon was still obscured by cloud cover, which only got more dense before sunrise:

Mothership readers in Singapore took photos of the Strawberry Moon on June 8, just past midnight.
Cloud cover was evident in several of the photos left in the comments section of the Facebook post carrying the Strawberry Moon story.

In other countries though, photographs appeared more stylised, with pinkish and purplish hues:
But the name "Strawberry Moon" is not so much for its hue, but instead a reference to the relatively short strawberry season in north eastern North America.
Other names given to the phenomenon are Rose Moon, Hot Moon, and Mead Moon.
The Strawberry Moon is still highly visible on June 7 night and June 8 morning, but it would have lost its fullness slightly.
