4/10 — Rough. Another proper scorcher, with the heat itself the whole story today.

Highs reach 34.5°C but it’ll feel more like 35.8°C by afternoon — sticky enough to notice, though the real driver is simply how hot it is. Skies stay essentially clear all day with no convective risk and no rain in sight, so this is a heat-and-humidity day rather than a storm day; best to keep any serious exertion to the cooler morning hours.

And tomorrow… Rated 4/10, Rough again, with highs easing only slightly to around 33.8°C (feeling closer to 34.8°C) and a muggier night — the humidity ticks up further. An isolated storm or two can’t be ruled out during the afternoon, so keep half an eye on the sky if you’re out and about.

Tl;dr: Hot and humid with a feels-like near 36°C — front-load any outdoor effort into the early morning.

Today’s BaZi

The day rides on 丁丑 — a steady little fire-over-earth pairing that likes order more than drama.

C: Outlook: mixed, with a squall line of old obligations rolling through by mid-morning — expect tangled asks and duties resurfacing from further back than you’d like. Skies improve into the afternoon as a cooperative front moves in and old alliances click back into alignment; the day rewards playing it straight and letting the paperwork speak for you rather than forcing anything.

D: Outlook: favourable, with a helpful tailwind building from a distant direction that pulls things quietly together in your favour. There’s a patch of low-level friction later — small frictions, maybe a minor slight — but it stays localised and passes. Best use of the day is heads-down, solitary deep work or study rather than meetings or networking; the conditions favour quiet insight, not crowds.
