Highest temperature in Beijing on August 11?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 11 August 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Beijing Capital International Airport Station will fall into one of several defined ranges, measured in degrees Celsius and sourced from Weather Underground's Daily Observations table rather than summary figures. Beijing's August climate typically peaks between 28–35°C, though heat waves can push readings above 36°C. The settlement window closes at midday UTC, meaning traders must account for the full calendar day's observations up to that point.

Historical August temperatures at Beijing's airport station show a median high around 31–32°C, with extremes ranging from 25°C in cooler years to 40°C during severe heat events. The 0% crowd probability suggests either extreme confidence in a specific range or insufficient liquidity and trader participation. Comparable weather markets on this venue have resolved accurately when primary data sources (here, the Daily Observations table) remain accessible and unambiguous; discrepancies between summary and detailed readings have occasionally delayed settlement but not altered outcomes materially.

Traders should monitor China Meteorological Administration forecasts and any typhoon activity tracking toward northern China in early August 2026, as tropical systems can suppress temperatures significantly. The market's regulatory accessibility depends on jurisdiction: German traders face GlüStV restrictions on derivative wagering; US participants encounter CFTC oversight of weather derivatives above certain notional thresholds; however, most prediction markets under $1,500 per position operate without formal KYC requirements in permissive jurisdictions, lowering entry friction for this specific contract. Weather Underground's data availability and any station maintenance shutdowns represent the primary operational risk to timely resolution.
