Thursday, 23 July 2026

8/10 — Very good. Warm, only mildly humid, with an isolated storm risk in the mix.

Highs reach 29.7°C and feel about the same at 29.8°C, with the dew point sitting at a noticeable-but-manageable level rather than truly muggy. Expect clouds to build over the Apennines by midday, and with that comes a chance an isolated storm or two can’t be ruled out through the afternoon — nothing organized, just watch the sky if you’re out and about between roughly noon and early evening.

And tomorrow… 9/10 — Excellent looks like the pick of the two days, with highs around 29.4°C, feeling much the same, lows near 20.2°C, and comfort easing to properly comfortable. An isolated storm still can’t be entirely ruled out, but confidence is only medium so treat that as a loose read rather than a lock.

Tl;dr: A genuinely good midsummer day — warm but not oppressive — just keep half an eye on the sky for a stray afternoon storm.

Today’s BaZi

The day itself carries the pillar 戊戌 — an earth-on-earth day, steady underfoot even if the sky above has its moods.

C: Outlook: challenging, with a slow-moving front of old obligations circling back mid-morning — the kind of tangled commitments that don’t resolve so much as linger. Good news arrives by contrast later, when a warmer front of alliance and goodwill moves in and smooths things over. Best used as a day for solitary study or quiet insight rather than group ventures; brooding is the one weather pattern to actively avoid.

D: Outlook: fine and settled, though with a competitive edge — treat shared costs and joint stakes carefully, as a patch of quiet low-level friction could turn a split bill or shared venture sour. A helpful tailwind builds later in the day, pulling things together in your favour. Lean into the day’s competitive energy productively: it favours meetings and negotiation-flavoured work more than solo deep-focus tasks — good day to show up and make your case rather than hide behind a desk.
