Platform comparison

Market context

The market hinges on the highest temperature recorded at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport on 13 July 2026, with historical July climatology averaging 30–32°C and occasional spikes above 35°C[1]. Recent data shows Chengdu hit 39°C on 8 July 2026, exceeding its multi-year extreme of 37.3°C, while the hottest day in the past 17 years reached 38.6°C in August 2022[8][9]. With the current crowd-implied probability at 0% for any outcome below 38°C, the market reflects confidence that temperatures will match or surpass this recent extreme, consistent with July being one of Chengdu’s hottest and most fuggy months, where peaks can reach 38°C[1][2].

Traders should monitor daily Wunderground updates for the Shuangliu station, as the market resolves strictly on the highest temperature recorded for all times on 13 July[1]. The Sichuan Basin’s geography amplifies heat retention, and China’s record-breaking July 2025 heatwave—its hottest month since 1961—suggests a persistent trend of elevated temperatures that could influence 2026 conditions[5]. Any official announcements from Chinese meteorological authorities regarding extreme heat warnings or basin-wide temperature anomalies would serve as immediate catalysts.
