Highest temperature in Wellington on August 11?

Platform comparison

Market context

Wellington’s **11 August** temperature is being measured at Wellington International Airport, and the market resolves to the highest value shown in Weather Underground’s **Daily Observations** table, not the headline day-high summary. With the current crowd-implied probability at **0% YES**, the book is pricing in a result that lands outside the listed temperature band for resolution, so any upside depends on the airport station printing an unexpectedly warm observation before the settlement cut-off.

The historical frame is fairly tight for Wellington in August: climatology and forecast services cluster daytime highs around **11–12°C**, with cool nights and frequent cloud or showers. WMO’s city data show August normals near **7.4°C minimum and 12.9°C maximum**, while other Wellington forecasts point to highs around **11–13°C** and only modest day-to-day variation.[1][9][10][16] That profile matters for market depth because low-volatility weather contracts tend to draw less speculative flow unless a specific operational input moves the expected range. In a payments-led venue, book thickness usually follows how easily users can add margin; friction at deposit and withdrawal rails can keep participation shallow, while smoother on-ramping through cards, SEPA, Klarna, or USDC tends to support tighter spreads and more continuous pricing.

For traders, the main catalysts are the airport’s morning observations, any late shift in local cloud or rainfall, and whether the daily maximum is recorded early enough to stay inside the settlement window. Weather Underground’s station feed is the resolution anchor, so any discrepancy between the live summary and the observation table is secondary to the table itself. Recent Wellington forecasts have pointed to cloudy conditions with only light rain risk and temperatures in the mid-teens Celsius at best, which would need a clear surprise to challenge the lower bands rather than the upper ones.[3][4][5][15][17]
