Highest temperature in Chengdu on July 11?

Platform comparison

Market context

Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport will record its peak daily temperature on 11 July 2026, with the market resolving to the Celsius range containing that high. July is consistently Chengdu’s hottest month, where average highs reach 32°C and extreme days can hit 38°C, making a 0% crowd-implied probability for any specific range appear statistically premature given historical volatility [2][4].

Historical data shows July temperatures in Chengdu frequently exceed 30°C, with peaks reaching 38°C in recent years, suggesting the current 0% probability may understate the likelihood of high-temperature outcomes [4][6]. Comparable cases from 2023 and 2024 confirm that mid-July often delivers temperatures above 35°C at this station, framing the current market pricing as potentially misaligned with seasonal norms [4].

Traders should monitor real-time Wunderground updates for the Shuangliu station and watch for regional heatwave announcements from Sichuan meteorological authorities, as these directly impact settlement [10]. The regulatory landscape adds complexity: German GlüStV rules may restrict access for EU users, while US CFTC reach could affect US participants, though the ‘no-KYC up to $1,500’ threshold ensures broad accessibility for this weather market under current frameworks [1].
