Recent forecasts for Cape Town on August 28 point to mild late-winter conditions with daily highs most likely in the low 20s°C, driven by a strengthening high-pressure ridge promoting light northerly to northwesterly winds and variable cloud cover that limits peak solar heating. The cold Benguela Current offshore continues to moderate coastal temperatures, while any shift toward stronger southerly or southwesterly flow could enhance marine-layer influence and cap readings nearer 18–20°C. Clearer skies and reduced wind would favor greater insolation, supporting peaks around 23–25°C, though model runs show limited consensus on exact timing of any frontal approach. These factors create tight clustering around 21–22°C as the most probable outcomes given current synoptic patterns.

This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded by NOAA at the Cape Town International Airport Station in degrees Celsius on 28 Aug '26.
The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column for all times on this day, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=fact
If NOAA data is unavailable or missing for the observation period, Weather Underground will be used as the secondary resolution source.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C.
This market can not resolve until the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Celsius (eg, 9°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Revisions to temperatures recorded within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following date has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered.Recent forecasts for Cape Town on August 28 point to mild late-winter conditions with daily highs most likely in the low 20s°C, driven by a strengthening high-pressure ridge promoting light northerly to northwesterly winds and variable cloud cover that limits peak solar heating.
