Highest temperature in Taipei on July 10?

Platform comparison

Market context

The underlying event is the peak temperature recorded at Taipei Songshan Airport on 10 July 2026, a date historically synonymous with summer highs of 32–33 °C. Current market data shows the crowd-implied probability for a "YES" outcome sits at 0%, yet the leading prediction is 31 °C at 30%, closely followed by 32 °C at 28%[1]. This divergence suggests traders are weighing recent anomalies against the norm; for instance, the market for the preceding day, 9 July, heavily favoured 35 °C or 36 °C, indicating a transient heat spike that may not persist[3]. Historical averages for Songshan Airport confirm July is the hottest month, with a mean high of 92 °F (33 °C), making any significant deviation below 30 °C statistically rare unless accompanied by severe weather[2].

A power-user approaching this programmatically must monitor the 10-day forecast, which currently predicts 99% rain and a high of only 87 °F (31 °C) for 10 July, a stark contrast to the typical dry, sunny conditions[5]. The primary catalyst is the persistence of this rain system, which suppresses temperatures and increases cloud cover, as observed in the current 91% cloudiness and 66% humidity at the station[4]. Traders should watch for updates from the Central Weather Administration regarding the NE wind front, which is driving this precipitation and could lower the peak temperature further if the system intensifies[7]. If the rain clears by midday, the temperature could rebound toward the 32 °C average, but the current trajectory points firmly toward the lower 31 °C bracket, aligning with the forecasted 87 °F peak[5].
