“Not Seen: MCW member Mr HiMY SYeD from Vancouver, British Columbia reported:
On Thursday evening June 14 2018, after praying Maghrib in Al-Jamia Masjid Vancouver, I walked halfway along the Cambie Bridge to search for the moon.
It has been partly cloudy all evening.
Tonight, the horizon only had a few areas of open sky in which to search.
I searched the sky for about 10 minutes.
I did not see the moon.”
