Tuesday, 21 July 2026

4/10 — Rough. Warm, humid, and unsettled, with storms in the mix later.

Highs should reach around 29°C but with the afternoon dewpoint sitting at 22.3°C it’ll feel more oppressive than that, closer to the low 30s at the peak. Cloud cover is heavy for much of the day rather than building steadily, and a more organised round of storms looks possible this afternoon into evening.

And tomorrow… A big turnaround to 8/10 — Very good, with highs similarly around the upper 20s but far more comfortable — only an isolated storm or two can’t be ruled out rather than today’s organised risk.

Tl;dr: Muggy and storm-prone today, especially from midday on, so keep outdoor plans flexible and don’t be surprised by a rumble of thunder.

Today’s BaZi

The day itself carries the pillar 丙申 — a fire-over-metal combination that sets the tone for both readings below.

C: Outlook: turbulent, but the kind of turbulence you can use. Pressure builds through the day, and rather than resisting it, this is a day to make the bold call rather than sit on it. There’s also a helpful undercurrent pulling things together behind the scenes — a bit like a tailwind gathering rather than a front — so decisive action taken now tends to draw support rather than resistance.

D: Outlook: unsettled, with some low-grade static. A patch of quiet friction — small frustrations, maybe a minor sense of being let down — moves through, so this isn’t the day to force cooperation or take things personally when they don’t land right. The better strategy is to lean on support already in place: let others carry things, rest where you can, and don’t launch anything new. Practically speaking, favour low-key admin, review, or study over meetings or creative pushes — the kind of work that only needs steady hands, not a clear sky.
