Highest temperature in Hong Kong on July 12?

Platform comparison

Market context

The Hong Kong Observatory will record the absolute daily maximum temperature in degrees Celsius for 12 July 2026, resolving this market once the official "Daily Extract" is finalized. Current crowd-implied probability sits at 0% for a YES outcome on any specific range below the frontrunner, yet the market heavily favours 34°C at 50% probability, with 33°C trailing at 46% [1]. This distribution reflects Hong Kong’s typical July heat, where average highs reach 32°C to 34°C, and seasonal guidance for July–September 2026 points to normal-to-above-normal temperatures amid ongoing climate trends [1][3].

Historical July peaks in Hong Kong frequently breach 34°C, with the average high for the month sitting at 32°C (89°F) and overnight lows rarely dropping below 28°C [2][3]. The 0% probability on lower ranges aligns with the Observatory’s forecast of above-normal warmth driven by ENSO status and climate models, making sub-32°C outcomes statistically improbable for this date [1][4]. Traders should monitor the Observatory’s "Daily Extract" publication schedule, as settlement depends entirely on this finalized data point rather than real-time forecasts [1]. Recent tourist weather updates for 12 July 2026 already indicate a maximum of 35°C, reinforcing the market’s confidence in the 34°C–35°C bands [8].
