Highest temperature in Shanghai on July 28?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shanghai's weather in late July sits firmly within the city's summer monsoon season, when daily highs routinely exceed 32°C and occasionally push toward 37–38°C during heat waves. The settlement window closes at midday on 28 July 2026, meaning only temperatures recorded up to that point will count toward resolution. Historical data from Shanghai Pudong International Airport—the official measurement station—shows that late-July highs have ranged from 29°C on cooler days to 37.5°C during particularly intense heat events, with the 30–35°C band representing typical outcomes for this period.

The 0% crowd probability suggests traders are either uncertain about the specific temperature brackets available or treating this as a straightforward weather forecast rather than a betting proposition. Shanghai's summer climate is remarkably consistent year-to-year; the city experiences high pressure systems and tropical moisture throughout July, creating predictable heat patterns. Wunderground's historical records for this station provide granular daily maxima, allowing precise settlement against recorded data rather than estimates.

Traders should monitor mid-July 2026 weather patterns and any emerging forecasts from China Meteorological Administration bulletins in the weeks preceding the settlement date. El Niño or La Niña conditions could shift regional pressure systems and influence whether late July 2026 tracks toward the cooler or warmer end of Shanghai's typical range. The specific temperature brackets offered in this market will determine whether the crowd's current indifference reflects genuine uncertainty or simply sparse liquidity.

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
