Unusual atmospheric conditions. However, the timing of the question is a little suspicious, so I'm going to answer a question you didn't ask also.

There are about 29.5 days from one full moon to the next. This means that there are a little over 12 full moons in a year, and once in a while there are two full moons in the same month. For some reason I don't fully understand, people call the second full moon in a month a "blue moon". It has nothing to do with the color of the moon, and the moon is no more likely to lookblue on the second full moon in a month than it is at any other full moon.

Why do you see a blue moon?

A blue moon can refer to the second full moon in a month or the moon actually being blue. We sometimes see a full moon twice in one month due to the moon's cycle of slightly less than one month. A moon which is actually blue may result from pollutants or dust in the atmosphere, making the moon look blue.
