Highest temperature in Beijing on June 28?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event hinges on the highest temperature recorded at Beijing Capital International Airport on 28 June 2026, measured in degrees Celsius. Historical patterns for Beijing in June show daytime highs typically ranging between 25°C and 35°C, with frequent days exceeding 30°C unless cold air intrudes [2][5][6]. Recent extreme heat events, such as the record third day above 40°C in June 2023, demonstrate that temperatures can spike well beyond the average [9]. Given that the market currently assigns a 100% probability to 34°C and a 0% chance to 27°C or below, the crowd-implied 0% YES probability for lower ranges aligns with the region’s consistent summer warmth and the absence of recent cooling trends [1][2].

Traders should monitor official weather bulletins from the China Meteorological Administration for any announcements of cold air fronts or heatwave warnings, as these are the primary catalysts that could shift temperature outcomes [5]. The settlement window closes at 12:00 UTC on 28 June 2026, meaning real-time Wunderground data for the Beijing Capital International Airport Station will be the definitive resolution source [1]. Regulatory frameworks also shape accessibility: German GlüStV implications may restrict participation for residents in certain states, while US CFTC reach applies to markets deemed as gambling or unregistered derivatives [1]. Crucially, the “no-KYC up to $1,500” threshold allows traders to access this market without identity verification for smaller positions, enhancing liquidity for retail participants who wish to bet on the 34°C outcome without triggering compliance hurdles [1].
