Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 28?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shanghai's summer climate in late July presents consistently hot conditions, with the city's monsoon season typically delivering temperatures in the high 30s Celsius. The settlement window closes at midday on 28 July 2026, meaning only morning and early afternoon readings will count towards resolution. Historical data from Shanghai Pudong International Airport shows July averages peak around 32–35°C, though extreme heat waves have occasionally pushed readings above 38°C during particularly intense pressure systems.

The 0% crowd probability suggests traders are either uncertain about the specific temperature thresholds offered or expect a relatively moderate day compared to Shanghai's typical late-July extremes. Comparable years provide useful benchmarks: July 2022 saw multiple days exceeding 35°C at Pudong, whilst July 2019 remained closer to 33–34°C despite similar seasonal positioning. The absence of any probability mass indicates the market may lack sufficient liquidity or clarity on the available temperature bands.

Traders monitoring this market should track weather forecasts from late July 2026, particularly any alerts from China's meteorological authority regarding high-pressure systems or heat warnings affecting the Yangtze River Delta region. Wunderground's historical data feed will be the sole arbiter of settlement, so familiarity with that station's measurement protocols is essential. The midday cutoff time is critical—afternoon thunderstorms, common in Shanghai's monsoon season, could suppress peak temperatures if they arrive before noon.
