Highest temperature in Los Angeles on August 14?

Platform comparison

Market context

Los Angeles International Airport was running near the upper 70s Fahrenheit on 14 August, with the official forecast around 78°F and the latest airport observations already in the mid-to-high 70s by afternoon, so the market is anchored to a fairly narrow intra-day range rather than an extreme-heat setup[3][6][10]. Weather Underground’s own history page for KLAX is the resolution source, which means the daily observations table, not the summary high/low box, determines the outcome; that distinction matters when traders are deciding whether a print is likely to land in the 70–79°F bucket or edge into 80s later in the day[11][14].

Historically, August at KLAX often settles in the 70s, with the current climate report for 13 August showing a 77°F maximum against a normal of 77°F, reinforcing how ordinary late-summer airport temperatures can be around this level[5]. That makes a 0% implied probability on any higher band look like a reflection of thin book depth rather than a strong weather view, especially in a market where the decisive temperature can move on a single late-afternoon observation.

For traders, the main catalysts are the timing of the final Wunderground observations and any late-day marine layer clearing or onshore wind changes that alter the airport high before the settlement window closes[6][11]. Market depth is usually driven by funding friction: if deposits clear quickly through rail options such as Klarna, SEPA or USDC, more size can arrive around the final forecast hours, whereas slower on-ramp flows tend to leave these weather books shallow until late.
