Tuesday, 14 July 2026

2/10 — Miserable. Brutally hot, sticky, and the air itself isn’t doing you any favours either.

Today should push into the mid-30s, with a high near 36°C and a feels-like closer to 38°C once the afternoon humidity kicks in — the dew point near 20°C is what really drags this one down, not just the thermometer. On top of that, the European AQI is running poor, UV is high, and grass pollen is at a moderate level, so this is a day to genuinely limit time outdoors rather than just tolerate it. No rain in sight and skies stay clear to lightly clouded through the afternoon.

And tomorrow… Rated 1/10 — Miserable, tomorrow looks even tougher: highs should push toward the high 30s (models spread roughly 35–40°C), with a feels-like near 40°C and properly oppressive humidity. Confidence is low and there’s real model disagreement, but an isolated storm or two can’t be ruled out by afternoon, and air quality stays poor with high UV again.

Tl;dr: Oppressively hot and humid with poor air quality — feels-like temperatures near 38°C make this a stay-in-the-shade, hydrate-often kind of day.

Today’s BaZi

The day itself carries the 己丑 (Jǐ Chǒu) pillar — steady earth over steady earth, though the surrounding weather isn’t quite so calm for everyone.

C: Outlook: turbulent early, clearing later. A front of old obligations rolls back through by midday — expect tangled loose ends and a bit of friction from commitments you thought were settled. But a cooperative system moves in behind it, bringing genuine harmony and alliance if you let others carry some of the weight today. Best to rest, take in support, and not fight the front head-on.

D: Outlook: fine and settled, with a helpful tailwind. Peers and steady, unglamorous effort are favoured today, and a gentle pull toward cooperation with someone from your wider circle helps things along later on. There’s a little patchy low-level friction close to home — minor, don’t read too much into it. Practically speaking, this is a day built for deep, heads-down work or admin you’ve been putting off rather than for networking or big pitches — steady effort quietly pays off more than any flash of charm would.
