4/10 — Rough. Hot and properly sticky, with the humidity doing the damage rather than the thermometer.

Highs should reach the low 30s, but with the afternoon dew point up near 21°C it’ll feel more like the mid-30s and heavy going outside — that stickiness is the whole story today, not the heat itself. No rain in the picture and nothing on the air quality front worth flagging.

Today, hour by hour

And tomorrow… A step down to 2/10, “Miserable” — highs should push into the mid-30s and feel closer to 38°C with even heavier humidity, and an isolated storm or two can’t be ruled out by afternoon. Tougher day all round, best planned around the heat rather than through it.

Tl;dr: It’s the humidity, not the number on the thermometer, that makes today rough — keep exertion light and expect a heavier, more oppressive step tomorrow.

Today’s BaZi

The day carries the pillar 壬申 — water sitting on metal, a combination that tends toward clear-headed but restless energy.

C: Outlook: mild and appetite-friendly, with a helpful tailwind moving in. Conditions favour making things over forcing them — cooking, building, creating, whatever lets the ideas flow rather than grinding through a to-do list. That tailwind builds through the day, nudging loose efforts together toward something more solid, though it’s not a day to push hard against resistance — let it come together on its own schedule.

D: Outlook: unsettled, with patchy low-level friction moving through, particularly around people or arrangements you thought were settled — small frustrations rather than anything dramatic. Diligence pays better than charm today: tending to what’s already yours (accounts, upkeep, existing commitments) goes further than chasing anything new. For getting the most out of the day, lean into deep-focus or admin work rather than meetings or networking — heads-down, practical tasks suit the mood far better than anything social.
