6/10 — Decent. Hot again, but the humidity stays mild enough to make it comfortable in the shade.

Highs reach 33.4°C, feeling like 34.3°C at the peak — properly warm, but the afternoon dew point sits at a moderate 17°C, so it’s “noticeable” muggy rather than oppressive. No rain, no storm risk, and only light gusts today, so it’s a straightforward hot, dry late-summer day with clouds rolling in by evening.

And tomorrow… Rated 4/10 — Rough, as the heat steps up a notch: highs should climb into the mid-to-upper 30s (around 35.9°C, feeling closer to 36.3°C), with a milder, more comfortable dew point but the raw heat itself becoming the main obstacle to being outside.

Tl;dr: A warm, dry, storm-free day that’s genuinely pleasant by late-summer Bologna standards — enjoy it, since tomorrow turns properly hot.

Today’s BaZi

The day carries the Metal-over-Earth pillar Geng Chen — sturdy ground under a sharp sky, if you want the flavour of it.

C: Outlook: turbulent, with a clearing spell worth watching for. An old front rolls back in by mid-morning, kicking up disruption and unplanned movement — expect the day to not go quite as scheduled. Underneath that, a helpful undercurrent is building, quietly pulling things together if you let it do its work rather than forcing progress. There’s also some low-grade friction simmering near the edges — a small comment or slight that stings more than it should — so tread lightly there. Given the general unsettledness, today’s a better day for tying down loose ends than starting anything new.

D: Outlook: bright with a sharp edge. A cooperative front moves in through the day, and alliances or shared efforts should go smoothly, even as a separate undercurrent pulls things toward quiet realignment behind the scenes. The catch is your own wit — ideas will come fast and clever, but the same sharpness that makes them good can also make them land badly if spoken carelessly. With that in mind, this is a day better spent heads-down on solo, creative or technical work than in meetings or negotiations where an unfiltered remark could do more damage than the idea itself is worth.
