Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 25?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shanghai's summer temperatures in late July typically range between 32–36°C, with occasional peaks exceeding 37°C during heat waves. The city experiences its hottest period from mid-July through August, driven by the East Asian summer monsoon and urban heat island effects. Historical data from Shanghai Pudong International Airport shows that temperatures on 25 July have varied considerably year to year, influenced by whether tropical systems approach the region or high-pressure systems dominate.

The 0% implied probability reflects uncertainty about which specific temperature band will be recorded rather than doubt that measurable heat will occur. Comparable July dates at the airport station have produced highs ranging from 29°C during cooler, wetter years to 38°C during intense heat episodes. The settlement depends entirely on Wunderground's historical records for the Pudong station, which maintains consistent measurement protocols. Traders should note that the exact temperature bracket thresholds determine the outcome; a reading of 35.2°C versus 35.8°C could shift resolution between adjacent ranges.

Monitoring weather forecasts from mid-July onwards will be essential, particularly tracking whether the western Pacific typhoon season produces systems that could cool Shanghai or whether continental high-pressure systems intensify heat. The China Meteorological Administration issues seasonal outlooks that occasionally signal whether late July will trend warmer or cooler than the 30-year average. Settlement occurs at 12:00 UTC on 25 July, giving traders access to actual recorded temperatures from the airport station by that deadline.

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?
