Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 15?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shanghai’s highest temperature on 15 July 2026 will be recorded at the Pudong International Airport station, with settlement based on the peak Celsius reading logged by Wunderground for that day. The market currently shows a 0% crowd-implied probability for the YES outcome, suggesting traders expect the temperature to fall outside the defined range, though the exact threshold remains unspecified in the prompt.

Historically, mid-July in Shanghai Pudong routinely sees highs between 34°C and 37°C, with 2023 and 2024 both peaking at 36°C at this station. Current forecasts for 15 July 2026 indicate a maximum of 36°C with scattered afternoon showers, aligning closely with recent years [1][3]. This consistency frames the 0% probability as potentially mispriced if the range includes 35–36°C, a common band for this period.

Traders should monitor hourly Wunderground updates from 00:00 to 12:00 UTC on 15 July, as the settlement window closes at 12:00 UTC. Key dependencies include real-time temperature spikes before 2pm, when scattered showers are forecast to develop and potentially suppress peak readings [1]. No official announcements are scheduled, but sudden convective activity could alter the day’s maximum, making live data feeds essential for programmatic trading strategies.
