When is the next full moon in Minnesota? July 2025's Buck Moon is coming soon
Eclipses, meteor showers and opportunities for planet viewing are among the space phenomena we can expect to see in the coming months, with July's full moon coming up next on the list.
Like other full moons throughout the year, July's has a nickname, the "Buck Moon," believed to have been originally conceived by the indigenous peoples of North America.

Stargazing spectacles of summer 2025: Full moons, meteor showers and eclipses
July's full moon, often called the "Buck Moon," will occur on July 10, 2025.
As of July 2, AccuWeather predicts it will be mostly sunny in St. Cloud on July 10.
The weather website predicts a high of 83 degrees Fahrenheit with a 3% chance of rain.
Temperatures are expected to drop that night to a low of 62 degrees, according to AccuWeather. The sky should be mostly clear as well.
Wind is expected to blow at four miles per hour that evening, according to AccuWeather.
Like other colloquial names for moon phases and astrological events, the "Buck Moon" is named after a significant natural phenomenon that happens around the time it appears full in the sky. The term likely originated with local native American tribes, according to the Farmers' Almanac.
July's full moon coincides with the time during which the antlers of male deer, known as bucks, are growing after their annual shed. While they begin sprouting in spring, they are at the peak of the process during this time, growing as fast as one-fourth of an inch per day, or one-and-a-half inches per week during this period.
According to the Old Farmer's Almanac, other popular nicknames for monthly full moons include:
Wolf Moon (January)
Snow Moon (February)
Worm Moon (March)
Pink Moon (April)
Flower Moon (May)
Strawberry Moon (June)
Sturgeon Moon (August)
Corn Moon (September)
Hunter's Moon (October)
Beaver Moon (November)
Cold Moon (December)
A full moon can be seen clearly with the naked eye. To see the Buck Moon, stargazers can look toward the southeast when the sun goes down.
Tim Brothers, Massachusetts Institute of Technology technical Instructor and observatory manager, previously told the USA TODAY Network that, like with any case of stargazing, you can see much more clearly with a good telescope or a pair of binoculars.

American kids' health is deteriorating
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The health of American children has been deteriorating for nearly two decades, a new study warns. From rising mortality rates to an alarming surge in chronic conditions, obesity and mental health struggles, U.S. children are facing a mounting health emergency that experts say demands urgent national attention. Published in the journal JAMA Network, the study analyzed health data collected from 2007 to 2023 by eight comprehensive sources, including national mortality statistics, five large-scale surveys and pediatric electronic health records. "We are experiencing a crisis in child health—this is clear and really not debatable," pediatrician and paper author Dr. Christopher B. Forrest told Newsweek. Girl works at a computer and eats fast food. Girl works at a computer and eats fast food. Yuliya Apanasenka According to Forrest, the decline in the health of American children has been going on for several decades—and is affecting virtually all aspects of health. He said: "Because children are rapidly developing and depend on adults and institutions, [such as] for the health, wellbeing and resilience, they are the 'canaries in the coal mine'—the first indicators that we have a more generalized deterioration in the ecosystem that all of us live within." One of the most jarring findings is how much more likely children are to die in the United States compared to those in other high-income countries. Infants under one are 78 percent more likely to die in the U.S. than in 18 comparable nations in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). For children and adolescents aged one to 19, the mortality risk is 80 percent higher. Leading causes include prematurity and sudden unexpected infant death among babies, while firearm deaths and motor vehicle crashes are driving youth mortality rates. In fact, U.S. children were 15 times more likely to die by firearm than their counterparts abroad. The study also found a sharp increase in chronic health conditions among children. Between 2011 and 2023, the percentage of children aged 3–17 with at least one chronic condition rose from 39.9 percent to 45.7 percent in pediatric health systems and from 25.8 percent to 31 percent in the general population. Obesity now affects one in five children, early puberty—particularly among girls—is becoming more common, and one in seven girls begins menstruation before age 12. These changes, researchers warn, may be linked to broader environmental, nutritional and societal stressors that are yet to be fully understood. Beyond physical health, children's emotional and functional wellbeing also showed signs of significant decline. From increased sleep disturbances to more frequent activity limitations, American children today are also struggling in ways that go beyond the clinical. Rates of depressive symptoms, loneliness and physical complaints such as headaches and stomachaches have also worsened. While many of the adverse trends have worsened in the past decade, some began much earlier. U.S. childhood mortality, once on par with peer countries in the 1960s, began to diverge in the 1970s. Obesity among 2–19-year-olds grew from just 5.2 percent in the early 1970s to nearly 20 percent by 2018. Average sleep duration has also declined steadily since the early 20th century. Forrest told Newsweek that there are no quick fixes or simple solutions. Essentially, we need to completely transform the environment in which children develop. "We need the collective intelligence and wisdom of parents to collaborate on developing the solutions that will start to shift the places where children live, grow and learn from environments that are unhealthful to ones that are health promoting," he said. Forrest's advice to parents is to engage with extended family, the wider community and, most importantly, their children. "Creating a loving, nurturing, caring and responsive home environment is critical for children's healthy development," he said. "We cannot as parents do that alone. We need a relational web of support and care. Make family a priority, more important than a higher paying job." Do you have a tip on a health story that Newsweek should be covering?

Lake Mead Warning Issued Over 'Dangerously Hot Conditions'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued an extreme heat watch on Monday for the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and surrounding regions as "dangerously hot conditions" are forecasted for Wednesday. Why It Matters The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that extreme heat can cause heat-related illnesses, particularly in young children, the elderly, and those with chronic health issues. Common symptoms of heat exhaustion include intense sweating, muscle cramps, dizziness, and nausea. The agency estimates that over 700 people die each year in the U.S. from extreme heat exposure. What To Know The alert covered parts of southeast Arizona, as well as a neighboring portion of northwest Arizona, and southeast California—including cities such as Lake Havasu City, Bullhead City, Needles, Mohave Valley, and the Hoover Dam area. Forecasts indicated that afternoon highs could reach between 110- and 120-degrees Fahrenheit along the Colorado River Valley, prompting the NWS to advise residents and visitors to stay indoors and take immediate precautions to prevent heat-related illnesses. The agency described these temperatures as "dangerously hot conditions." "High temperatures in the lower elevations of southern Mohave County will be around 110 to 115 degrees," the alert added. The NWS advised residents in affected areas to stay well-hydrated, stay out of the sun and in and air-conditioned room, and to check up on neighbors and relatives. It also warned that car temperatures could reach "lethal temperatures" within minutes, and that young children and pets should not be left in vehicles unattended.

Daniel Slim/AFP via Getty Images What People Are Saying The NWS forecast office, Las Vegas, wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Monday: "Temperatures will continue to increase each day through mid-week with HeatRisk increasing to Major across southern Mohave County and the Colorado River Valley on Wednesday. As such, an Extreme Heat Watch has been issued for the aforementioned areas on Wednesday." The NWS wrote on X last month: "During hot and humid weather, your body's ability to cool itself is challenged in ways you may not expect. When your body heats too rapidly, or when too much fluid or salt is lost through dehydration or sweating, you may experience a heat-related illness. Stay Weather-Ready by learning the symptoms of Extreme Heat exposure and the appropriate responses." What Happens Next? At the time of writing, the extreme heat watch was in effect from Wednesday morning through Wednesday evening. The NWS issues regular forecast updates on its website.

Hundreds of Thousands Told To Avoid Sun: ‘Deadliest Weather Phenomenon'
Hundreds of thousands of people have been advised to stay out of the sun this week due to "dangerously hot conditions" forecast in two states. The National Weather Service (NWS) issued extreme heat warnings for large swathes of southern Arizona and southeast California from Tuesday morning until Thursday evening. Temperatures are forecast to reach 119 degrees Fahrenheit in parts, and the warnings cover major urban areas including Phoenix. The NWS warned there will be a major heat risk in affected areas, and that overexposure to the sun can lead to heat cramps, exhaustion and eventually heat stroke. "Don't underestimate the heat! It is the deadliest weather phenomenon in the USA," it said. "An extreme heat warning means that a period of very hot temperatures, even by local standards, will occur. Actions should be taken to lessen the impact of the extreme heat. "Drink plenty of fluids, stay in an air-conditioned room, stay out of the sun, and check up on relatives and neighbors." It added: "Do not leave young children and pets in unattended vehicles. Car interiors will reach lethal temperatures in a matter of minutes." In Arizona, the extreme heat warnings are in effect from 10 a.m. on Tuesday until 8 p.m. on Thursday. Counties impacted by the warnings include: Yuma, La Paz, Yavapai, Maricopa, Gila, Pinal, Pima, Graham, Greenlee, Coconino. In parts of Phoenix, home to around 1.65 million people, temperatures could reach 117 degrees Fahrenheit. In California, extreme heat warnings are in force from 10 a.m. on Wednesday until 8 p.m. on Thursday. Counties impacted by the warnings include: San Diego, Imperial, Riverside and San Bernardino. In its warning, the NWS said: "Take extra precautions if you work or spend time outside. When possible, reschedule strenuous activities to early morning or evening. Know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke. Wear lightweight and loose-fitting clothing when possible and drink plenty of water. "To reduce risk during outdoor work, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration recommends scheduling frequent rest breaks in shaded or air conditioned environments. Anyone overcome by heat should be moved to a cool and shaded location. Heat stroke is an emergency! Call 911." The NWS forecast office in Phoenix wrote on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday: "Extreme heat is back in the forecast this week. Temperatures will continue to climb each day, peaking on Wednesday when highs are expected to reach 110F-116F across the lower deserts. Make sure you take extra precautions and practice smart heat safety." "Drink a cup of cool water every 20 minutes, even if you aren't thirsty. For long jobs, drink a beverage with electrolytes. Take regular breaks to rest. During hot conditions, skipping breaks is not safe! Seek periodic breaks in the AC if possible. Spend time in the shade when outdoors." The NWS forecast office in Los Angeles wrote on X: "Hotter weather is on it's way starting Tuesday. Temps will peak Wednesday and Thursday this week across most areas, but heat may linger through the weekend across the interior areas. Ensure you are prepared for the heat and know the signs and what to do in case of heat illness." The extreme heat warnings for the affected regions are currently set to remain in force until 8 p.m. on Thursday. Regular forecast updates are issued by the NWS on its website.
