Highest temperature in Guangzhou on August 15?

Platform comparison

Market context

Guangzhou will experience peak summer heat on 15 August 2026, with the highest temperature recorded at Baiyun International Airport determining the settlement outcome. The market resolves using Weather Underground's Daily Observations table rather than summary figures, a distinction that matters when intraday spikes exceed daily highs reported elsewhere. Current pricing reflects zero probability across all temperature bands, suggesting either insufficient liquidity to attract initial traders or genuine uncertainty about whether sufficient deposit flow will materialise to establish a functioning book before the settlement window closes.

Guangzhou's August temperatures typically range between 32–38°C, with extremes occasionally exceeding 40°C during heat waves. Historical August records show the city has recorded temperatures above 39°C in roughly one-third of years since 2010, providing a baseline for assessing which bands carry genuine tail risk. The 0% crowd probability indicates the market has not yet attracted sufficient capital from traders willing to deposit via Klarna, SEPA transfers, or USDC to establish meaningful price discovery. Markets with shallow order books often remain at extreme probabilities until payment friction decreases or news events trigger fresh funding inflows.

Traders monitoring this market should watch China Meteorological Administration forecasts released in early August 2026, which typically provide 10-day outlooks with reasonable accuracy for regional temperature extremes. Seasonal monsoon patterns and any tropical cyclone activity in the South China Sea could drive volatility in the final week before settlement. Deposit availability through Klarna's staggered payment options may unlock additional liquidity if traders perceive value in underpriced temperature bands, directly affecting whether the market develops sufficient depth to trade meaningfully.
