Recent South African Weather Service forecasts project a daily maximum of 17°C in Cape Town on August 17 under partly cloudy skies following a weak cold front, aligning with the long-term August climatological average of 17–18°C. This outlook, supported by consistent short-range numerical weather prediction guidance and the moderating influence of the Benguela Current, has produced near-certain market-implied odds on the 17°C outcome. Official observations from the primary Cape Town station will determine resolution, so any localized warming from clearer skies or wind shifts could push readings higher while stronger onshore flow or additional cloud cover could hold temperatures at or below the threshold.

This market will resolve based on the highest temperature recorded in the 'Daily Observations' table on Weather Underground, not the figure displayed in the 'Day High & Low' summary section; in the event of any discrepancy between the two, the Daily Observations table shall be the primary resolution source not the Day High & Low section.
This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the Cape Town International Airport Station in degrees Celsius on 17 Aug '26.
The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day for the Cape Town International Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/za/matroosfontein/FACT.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the gear icon next to the search bar and switch the Temperature setting between °F and °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.
