Highest temperature in Los Angeles on July 22?

Platform comparison

Market context

Los Angeles International Airport spent 22 July in the middle of a region-wide heat wave, with forecasters warning of a long-duration spell of hot weather across Southern California and Los Angeles itself expected to reach the mid-90s inland and remain notably warm on the coast. That matters because the market settles on the *single highest reading* at LAX, not the citywide high, so a hot afternoon trend does not have to translate into an extreme airport maximum.[3]

The 0% crowd price on the lowest band looks consistent with the setup if the airport stays in its usual summer range: recent market pricing already had 76–77°F as the clear frontrunner, while a separate local temperature feed showed Los Angeles at 83°F on the day the heat built in, under mostly sunny skies.[1][2] For this kind of contract, the key historical frame is that LAX often runs cooler than inland Los Angeles during heat events because of the marine layer and onshore flow, so the upper end of the distribution matters more than the headline city forecast.[3]

A trader should watch late-morning and afternoon forecast updates from the National Weather Service, any shift in coastal winds or marine inversion strength, and whether the heat advisory or airport-specific outlook changes before the settlement cut-off. If conditions moderate near the coast, LAX can undershoot inland forecasts even in a broader heat wave; if the marine layer breaks earlier than expected, the day’s peak can move up into a higher band.
