Recent forecast guidance from agencies like the South African Weather Service shows Cape Town recovering from an earlier cut-off low that delivered cooler, cloudy conditions, with models now projecting an 18 August daytime high near 18°C under persistent overcast skies and moderate onshore flow. This aligns with climatological August averages of 17–18°C for the region while reflecting lingering winter influences from mid-latitude systems that limit solar heating. Minor model spread on cloud timing and wind strength keeps 18°C and 19°C nearly tied in trader sentiment, as small shifts in maximum temperature could tip the daily peak either way before resolution.

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 18 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.
