4/10 — Rough. Properly hot again, but it’s the heat itself doing the damage today, not the humidity.

Highs should reach around 35°C, feeling close to 36°C by mid-afternoon, and that heat alone is enough to cap the day’s rating — the air itself stays comparatively dry and comfortable, so this isn’t a mugginess story. Expect a clear, cloudless run from morning through evening with no rain in sight; any building cumulus off the Apennines late in the day looks too weak to organise into anything.

And tomorrow… Rated 4/10, Rough, again — highs should push a touch higher still, into the mid-to-upper 30s, with overnight lows easing slightly to around 22°C; the dryness holds, so once more it’s the raw heat rather than humidity keeping the score down.

Tl;dr: Another hot, dry, cloudless day where the heat itself — not the humidity — is the thing to plan around; keep exertion to the cooler morning hours.

Today’s BaZi

The day carries the 庚申 pairing — metal doubled on metal, so expect a day that rewards grit more than sparkle.

C: Outlook: unsettled but not without a silver lining. Conditions favour quiet, self-reliant grind today — the kind of unglamorous effort nobody claps for but that still gets the job done. A helpful undercurrent builds as the day goes on, pulling scattered pieces of a plan together almost despite themselves, so don’t force the front half of the day; let the back half do the cooperating.

D: Outlook: bright ideas, gusty mouth. Sharp thinking and clever angles are in good supply, but there’s a real risk of saying the sharp thing out loud when the diplomatic thing was called for — small friction and minor undercurrents of betrayal are possible if words run ahead of judgement. Best used as a heads-down, deep-focus day rather than one for meetings, negotiation, or anything requiring careful diplomacy — let the ideas go into a document, not into a room.
