Official measurements from the Hong Kong Observatory established a daily maximum of 25°C on May 16, aligning precisely with the market's near-certain implied probability for that outcome. Milder-than-typical spring conditions, driven by increased cloud cover and moderate easterly winds, limited daytime heating below the seasonal average high near 31°C. Historical data from the same station show that May maxima in this range occur when frontal influences suppress solar radiation, a pattern consistent with recent model guidance. While forecast revisions or station-specific microclimate effects could theoretically alter the final reading, the consensus across official records leaves little room for deviation at this stage.

This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded by the Hong Kong Observatory in degrees Celsius on 16 May '26.
The resolution source for this market will be information from the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Absolute Daily Max (deg. C)" the specified date once information is finalized in the relevant "Daily Extract", available here: https://www.weather.gov.hk/en/cis/climat.htm
This market can not resolve to "Yes" until data for this date has been finalized.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures in Celsius to one decimal place (eg, 9.1°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is finalized for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.Official measurements from the Hong Kong Observatory established a daily maximum of 25°C on May 16, aligning precisely with the market's near-certain implied probability for that outcome.
