Highest temperature in Taipei on July 11?

Platform comparison

Market context

Taipei is experiencing heavy rain and typhoon conditions on 11 July 2026, with current readings at Songshan Airport showing 27.8°C and 93% humidity alongside 12mm of hourly rainfall[7]. This active weather system suppresses peak temperatures, explaining the crowd-implied 0% probability for any outcome significantly above current levels, as typhoons typically prevent extreme heat spikes in the region[4].

Historical data confirms July is Taipei’s hottest month, with Songshan Airport averaging a high of 92°F (33.3°C) under normal conditions[3]. However, the market’s leading outcome of 29°C (34% probability) and the immediate runner of 30°C (25%) reflect a sharp deviation from this baseline due to the current storm[1]. The prior day’s market settled at 33°C with 100% certainty, highlighting how rapidly the typhoon has altered the thermal profile compared to the recent heatwave[2].

Traders must monitor real-time updates from the Central Weather Administration and Wunderground history, as the settlement relies strictly on the highest temperature recorded at Songshan Airport[7]. Regulatory accessibility remains a key factor: German GlüStV implications and US CFTC reach create jurisdictional friction, yet the ‘no-KYC up to $1,500’ threshold allows immediate participation for users in compliant regions without identity verification hurdles for this specific weather event[10].
