Friday, 31 July 2026

2/10 — Miserable. This is a day where the heat alone does all the damage, humidity or not.

Highs should push into the upper 30s, around 38°C, with the afternoon feeling closer to 39°C once the humidity piles on — that combination is genuinely oppressive, and it’s not a day to push through outdoor plans regardless of how dry or clear the sky looks. Overnight offers little relief either, with lows only easing back to around 23°C. No rain in sight, just heavy, sticky air from mid-morning onward.

And tomorrow… Tomorrow looks even tougher — rated 1/10, Miserable — with highs similarly near 38°C but feeling more like 40°C, and an overnight low stuck around 26°C that won’t give much of a break from the mugginess. Confidence is medium, but the signal is consistent: this heat-and-humidity stretch isn’t easing up yet.

Tl;dr: Brutally hot and humid with feels-like near 39°C — treat today as an indoor day and skip strenuous time outside.

Today’s BaZi

The day itself carries the Fire Horse pillar, 丙午 — doubling down on heat and intensity, fittingly enough.

C: Outlook: turbulent, with genuine bursts of opportunity if you don’t fight the wind. A pulling-together tailwind builds early, drawing things toward cooperation and momentum, but by the middle stretch a disruptive front rolls through — plans get knocked around, and there’s a patch of quiet, low-grade friction with someone close. The smart move is to lean into the pressure rather than resist it: bold, decisive action suits today far better than caution.

D: Outlook: calm and gathering, a settled system with people happy to lend a hand. There’s a small stalled front of your own making circling back — some friction that traces to old habits rather than outside interference — but nothing that should derail the day. Best use of the hours: let this be a low-key, supported day — lean into deep focus or study rather than launching anything new, and don’t hesitate to accept help that’s offered.
