3/10 — Rough. Properly hot, with the thermometer and the feels-like both pushing into oppressive territory by afternoon.

Highs should reach around 36°C but it’ll feel closer to 37°C at the peak — heat is the whole story today, not humidity, though the dew point is noticeable enough to add to the sluggish feel. Skies build cloud through the afternoon and an isolated storm or two can’t be ruled out as convection fires off later in the day. Gusts could hit 55 km/h with any activity, so hold onto loose patio furniture if you’re outdoors this evening.

And tomorrow… 4/10 — Rough with highs easing slightly to around 34°C (feeling closer to 35°C), but humidity climbs a notch and a more organized round of storms looks possible — worth keeping half an eye on the sky if you’ve got plans.

Tl;dr: A genuinely hot, gusty day where the heat itself is the main hazard — front-load outdoor plans for the morning and watch for a stray afternoon storm.

Today’s BaZi

The day carries the pillar 壬戌, water sitting on earth — a bit of a push-pull all on its own.

C: Outlook: mixed, with a stretch of low pressure through the middle of the day. Old obligations circle back and tangle things up around midday, the kind of front that stalls plans rather than blowing them away outright — but a warmer front of cooperation and goodwill moves in later, clearing the mood considerably. Lean into making rather than forcing today; appetite and creativity are your tailwind even if the morning feels stuck.

D: Outlook: patchy friction early, brightening through steady effort. Small quiet frustrations and minor letdowns drift through, low-grade rather than dramatic, but there’s a helpful pull later in the day — things gathering toward warmth and momentum if you keep tending to what’s already yours rather than chasing something new. Best used for deep, heads-down work on existing projects or admin you’ve been putting off — this isn’t a networking or launch day, it’s a maintenance-and-diligence one, and it pays off if you treat it that way.
