Highest temperature in Madrid on July 25?

Platform comparison

Market context

Madrid's summer temperatures in late July regularly exceed 35°C, with the city's airport station frequently recording highs in the 36–40°C range during this period. The market resolves based on the single highest temperature reading at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport on 25 July 2026, with settlement determined by Wunderground historical data.

Historical records show Madrid experiences extreme heat variability in late July depending on whether Atlantic systems or North African high-pressure systems dominate. Between 2015 and 2023, the airport station recorded July 25 highs ranging from 28°C to 39°C, reflecting the substantial year-to-year swing. The current 4% implied probability suggests traders expect a notably cooler-than-typical outcome for this date, positioning the market towards lower temperature brackets rather than the 38–40°C range that characterises Madrid's hottest July days.

Key variables include the Atlantic Oscillation index and positioning of the Azores high in early-to-mid July 2026, which determine whether cool Atlantic air reaches the Iberian Peninsula or whether heat from North Africa dominates. Spain's meteorological agency (AEMET) typically issues seasonal forecasts by June, providing early signals about summer circulation patterns. Traders should monitor late-June weather model consensus and any unusual atmospheric patterns emerging in the weeks preceding the settlement date, as these directly influence whether conditions favour anomalously cool temperatures or revert to Madrid's typical late-July heat signature.
