**Exceptionally low rainfall totals so far in London this August, driven by persistent high-pressure systems and a continuation of July’s record dry spell, have pushed the market-implied probability of under 30 mm to 85.5%.** Official monitoring data through late August show cumulative precipitation around 8 mm—roughly 15% of the long-term monthly normal of ~52 mm—with only trace amounts on most days and a handful of light showers totaling a few millimeters. This stems from prolonged anticyclonic conditions that suppressed frontal systems and convective activity, following an even drier July that set records across southern England. Forecasts for the final days (August 29–31) indicate limited additional rain, likely just a few millimeters from scattered showers or a weakening front, keeping the monthly total well below 30 mm. Higher bins (e.g., 80 mm+) reflect residual uncertainty in model spreads but carry low implied odds given the stable pattern and short time remaining. Traders are weighting the strong observational record and consensus on minimal further accumulation.

If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket.
The resolution source for this market will be the Met Office, specifically the figure for August 2026 under "rain mm" at the https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/pub/data/weather/uk/climate/stationdata/heathrowdata.txt link once the Provisional figure for the whole month of August 2026 is released.
If the relevant data is not available by November 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, another credible resolution source will be chosen.
The resolution source for this market measures precipitation to 1 decimal place (e.g., 1.5), thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving this market. Any revisions to precipitation recorded after Provisional data is released for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.
