Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 16?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shanghai’s highest temperature on 16 July 2026 will be recorded at the Pudong International Airport Station, with the market resolving to the Celsius range containing that peak. Today, the airport sits overcast at 36°C (82°F), with humidity near 89% and winds of 27 mph, creating conditions that could push temperatures higher if cloud cover breaks [1].

Historically, July in Shanghai averages 27°C to 36°C, often marking the year’s hottest period, with 12–14 rainy days and around 130 mm of precipitation [2]. The current 0% YES probability suggests the crowd expects the peak to fall outside the implied range, yet comparable July days frequently hit or exceed 36°C, especially when humidity and wind patterns align as they do now [2].

Traders should monitor real-time updates from Wunderground for the official daily maximum, as resolution hinges solely on that source’s recorded peak for all times on 16 July [1]. Key catalysts include shifts in cloud cover, humidity trends, and wind speed, which directly influence heat accumulation; any sudden drop in cloudiness could rapidly elevate temperatures beyond current expectations [1]. Programmatic approaches would automate checks on Wunderground’s hourly data feed, triggering conditional orders if the live maximum approaches the upper bound of the target range.
