Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 24?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shanghai’s airport temperature on 24 July will be set by the day’s observed high at Pudong, so the key issue is whether the city gets a brief, hot, mostly dry afternoon rather than a cloudier, rain-interrupted one. The live market price of 0% YES implies traders think the recorded maximum will land outside the mapped range, but the available forecasts still point to a hot midsummer pattern: Shanghai is expected to reach about 95–96°F (35°C) in the current outlook, with showers and significant cloud cover around the same period.[1][5]

That broad framing fits Shanghai’s July climatology, which is typically hot, humid and rain-prone, with average highs around 32°C and frequent rainfall later in the month.[3][7] A comparable benchmark is that recent guidance has kept daytime temperatures in the low-to-mid 30s Celsius even while highlighting unsettled conditions, which means the settlement outcome will hinge on whether convective rain or thicker cloud cover suppresses the airport’s peak reading by a few degrees.[1][3]

For traders, the main catalysts are the final-hour forecast shifts, any update to the airport station reading, and the timing of showers or thunderstorms over Pudong before the settlement window closes at noon UTC. A warmer, sunnier morning can still produce a high in the low-to-mid 30s Celsius, but the presence of intermittent clouds and rain chances in the latest outlook is the main downside risk to an upper-end temperature print.[4][5]

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
