Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 6?

Platform comparison

Market context

The underlying event is the highest temperature recorded at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on 6 July 2026, a date that historically sits within the peak of Shanghai’s hot, humid summer. Current crowd-implied probability of 0% for the market’s specific threshold suggests traders believe the temperature will fall below that range, yet historical data indicates July highs in Shanghai typically reach 30–35°C, with 2025 seeing a peak of 38°C on a similar date[2][10]. Comparable cases from recent years show July 6 highs clustering in the low-to-mid 30s Celsius, aligning with the tight market clustering around 32–34°C observed on Polymarket[3]. This makes the 0% probability appear counterintuitive unless the threshold is set unusually high, as average daily highs in July range from 26–31°C but frequently exceed 30°C during daytime peaks[2][5].

Traders should monitor real-time weather updates from Wunderground, the official resolution source, which will publish the day’s highest temperature at 12:00 UTC on 6 July[1]. Key dependencies include sudden shifts in humidity, cloud cover, or wind speed, all of which can suppress peak temperatures; for instance, high humidity above 75% often makes temperatures feel sweltering but may not raise the actual recorded maximum beyond 35°C[5]. Recent forecasts for Shanghai Hongqiao Airport show drizzle and temperatures around 34–35°C, suggesting similar conditions may hold at Pudong[4]. No major coaching changes or team absences apply here, as this is a weather event, but traders must watch for any unexpected rain showers or monsoon activity, which could lower the day’s peak and validate the 0% probability if the threshold is indeed high[2]. The settlement window ends precisely at 12:00 UTC, so timely data from Wunderground is critical[1].

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

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.
