Monday, 13 July 2026

2/10 — Miserable. Brutally hot and properly sticky, with a storm chance thrown in for good measure.

Highs should reach around 35°C this afternoon, but with the dew point sitting near 20°C it’ll feel more like the upper 30s — mid-to-high 37°C is the number to plan around. It’s the humidity doing the damage to the rating today, not the sky: skies stay mostly clear and dry through the afternoon, though an isolated storm or two can’t be ruled out later on. Air quality is moderate on the European AQI, UV is high, and grass pollen is running moderate too — all worth factoring into any outdoor plans.

And tomorrow… Rated 1/10 — Miserable again, and if anything a touch worse: highs should push toward 36°C, feeling closer to 38°C, with the same humid, storm-watch pattern in play and air quality slipping to poor on the European AQI. Little relief in sight for now.

Tl;dr: Hot and oppressively muggy with feels-like values near 37–38°C — keep exertion light, watch for a stray afternoon storm, and don’t be surprised by the moderate air quality and high UV on top.

Today’s BaZi

Today runs on the 戊子 pillar — an earth-over-water day, for what it’s worth as flavour.

C: Outlook: mixed, with clearing patches. Early on, an unexpected alliance forms — a cooperative front drifts in that favours quiet study or working things out alone rather than in a crowd. By later in the day, though, an old, tangled obligation circles back like a stalled system that won’t quite clear the area — best not to force resolution on it now, just let it sit. Good day for insight, not so good for brooding on it.

D: Outlook: turbulent with a useful tailwind buried in it. A pull-together current develops earlier in the day, drawing people and resources toward cooperation, but a disruptive gust arrives later and scatters plans and movement more than expected — and with money or shared costs in the picture, keep a firm hand on the wallet and don’t split anything blindly. Given the competitive, scattered air of the day, it favours solo admin and tying up loose practical tasks over meetings, negotiations, or anything requiring calm shared focus.
