Highest temperature in Wellington on July 24?

Platform comparison

Market context

Wellington Airport’s maximum temperature on 24 July is normally a low-warmth winter reading, and the current 0% “YES” price fits the city’s seasonal profile. July in Wellington is typically cool, with average highs around 12°C, lows near 9°C, frequent rain and brisk winds, which makes any materially warmer outcome uncommon rather than impossible.[1]

That said, this market resolves on the single highest reading posted at Wellington Intl Airport Station, so traders should focus on whether a brief afternoon spike or a sheltered localised warm-up can lift the day’s peak into a higher band than the winter norm. The comparison point is not the daily mean but the maximum for the full day, which can differ from the headline forecast if sunshine, wind direction or a late change in cloud cover alters the daytime high.[1][2]

The key catalyst is the evolution of the day’s forecast through the morning and early afternoon, especially temperature, cloud and wind updates from weather services before the market’s settlement window closes at 12:00 UTC. At present, local conditions are described as cool and only modestly warm by current standards, with temperatures in the high single digits to around 10°C in Wellington and light-to-moderate winds, which leaves limited room for a surprise surge unless the forecast materially improves.[2][3][4]
