Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 1?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event this market tracks is the peak daytime temperature recorded at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on 1 July 2026, measured in degrees Celsius. Historical data and ensemble forecasts indicate that July in Shanghai typically sees daytime maxima between 26°C and 28°C, with summer highs regularly exceeding 30°C during sunny spells [5][7]. The current crowd-implied probability of 0% for the lowest temperature range aligns with these patterns, as temperatures below 22°C are exceptionally rare in early July. Market frontrunners assign a 77% chance to 26°C and 17% to 27°C, consistent with recent ensemble forecasts clustering near 27–28°C [1][2].

Traders should monitor daily weather updates from Wunderground and BBC Weather, particularly the forecast for Wednesday 1 July, which currently predicts a high of 26°C [3]. Any sudden shifts in humidity, wind speed, or pressure could alter the peak temperature, as Shanghai’s summer climate is sensitive to these dependencies [3]. While no major announcements are scheduled, the settlement window ending 2026-07-01T12:00:00Z means traders must act before midday UTC. The market’s traction ties directly to funding flows from payment rails like Klarna and SEPA, which drive book depth by enabling rapid deposits and withdrawals [1]. As deposit fees and withdrawal rails influence user participation, the liquidity in this market reflects the efficiency of these on-ramp friction points.
