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 6 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. 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.Latest numerical weather prediction models indicate a maximum near 15–16 °C in Cape Town on August 6, driven by a cool maritime air mass and morning drizzle that limits daytime warming. South African Weather Service guidance and ECMWF runs show highs suppressed below the seasonal 17–18 °C average, with light winds and partial cloud cover reducing insolation. These conditions have consolidated trader consensus on the 15 °C and 16 °C contracts, while the low probability assigned to 17 °C or higher reflects limited potential for rapid clearing. Updated model runs expected overnight will refine the exact peak and may shift implied probabilities ahead of resolution.
