Highest temperature in Taipei on July 25?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 25 July 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Taipei Songshan Airport Station will fall into one of several defined ranges. The settlement will draw from Wunderground's historical weather database, which archives daily extremes for this official meteorological station. The 0% crowd probability suggests either extreme confidence in a particular temperature band or minimal trading activity; July temperatures in Taipei typically range between 32–36°C, with occasional peaks above 37°C during heat waves.

Historical July records for Taipei show considerable year-to-year variation. The station has recorded temperatures exceeding 38°C in roughly one-third of July days over the past two decades, whilst readings below 32°C are rare. Comparable East Asian airports in humid subtropical zones experience similar volatility, driven by monsoon patterns and occasional typhoon proximity. The current 0% probability on this market likely reflects either a very narrow or very broad temperature band being priced, rather than genuine uncertainty about whether the day will occur.

Traders should monitor the Western Pacific typhoon forecast through July, as tropical systems can suppress daytime highs significantly. The China Meteorological Administration and Central Weather Administration (Taiwan) issue seasonal outlooks in early July; any El Niño or La Niña signals may shift baseline expectations. Real-time tracking begins mid-July when extended forecasts stabilise. Settlement depends entirely on Wunderground's recorded data for that specific station; any station maintenance or data gaps would require resolution clarification from the market operator.
