**Forecast consensus from official and international models centers on a daily high of 31–32°C for Shanghai on August 28, 2026, aligning with the market's strong implied probabilities (31°C at 55.5%, 32°C at 30%).** Multiple sources, including the China Meteorological Administration and global models, project highs in this narrow range amid increasing cloud cover, scattered showers or thunderstorms, and easterly to northeasterly winds associated with Typhoon Shadel (No. 18). These conditions are expected to moderate peak heating compared with clearer summer days. Historical late-August averages for Shanghai hover near 31–32°C, providing climatological support, while recent days have seen similar or slightly higher readings (32–33°C) before the system’s influence strengthens. The typhoon’s peripheral effects—elevated humidity, reduced sunshine, and potential gusts—represent the key near-term driver limiting upside to 33°C or above, which carries minimal market weight. Updated model runs and official briefings through August 27–28 will refine the exact maximum, with traders weighting the balance between residual warmth and rain-cooled conditions.

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=zspd
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.
