Highest temperature in Shenzhen on August 7?

Platform comparison

Market context

The event is the **highest recorded air temperature at Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport Station on 7 August**, and the market settles on the range containing that peak rather than the day-high figure shown elsewhere on Weather Underground. That distinction matters because the market’s resolution source is the **Daily Observations** table, so a short-lived afternoon spike or a late-morning reading can determine the outcome even if a summary panel looks different. Forecasts for Shenzhen on 7 August point to a warm, humid day with temperatures around the low-30s Celsius and some rain or light showers, which keeps the most likely outcome in the upper-middle ranges rather than the very top band.[3][10][11][14]

Historically, similar Shenzhen summer-weather markets tend to track the city’s monsoon-season pattern: hot, damp conditions with rain often suppressing the extreme end of the distribution, but not enough to rule out a mid-30s Celsius print. Official Guangdong forecasts for 7 August put Shenzhen at roughly **27–34°C**, while private forecast pages cluster around **32–34°C** highs, which is broadly consistent with the crowd-implied 0% YES only if the market’s “YES” threshold sits in a notably high bucket rather than a generic warm-day range.[10][3][6][11] For regulation and access, the wider category matters: German participants can face **GlüStV**-related restrictions depending on the platform’s local offering, while **US CFTC** reach can apply to event-contract-style products offered to US persons; “**no-KYC up to $1,500**” typically means small deposits or withdrawals may be possible without full identity checks, but higher limits and some jurisdictions still trigger verification, reducing practical accessibility for some traders.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?
