Forecast models from major centers project Moscow's peak temperature on May 18 to reach 27–29°C, driven by southerly warm-air advection and partly cloudy skies that permit strong daytime heating. Ensemble guidance shows modest spread around this range, with any earlier cloud build-up or slight timing shift in a weak front able to cap the maximum near 28°C or push it to 30°C. Mid-May climatology places normal highs near 18–20°C, so current conditions reflect a clear positive anomaly. Traders weigh the latest ECMWF and GFS runs against historical variability, where single-day deviations of 5–7°C remain common in late spring. Updated model cycles expected within 48 hours will likely tighten the distribution ahead of market resolution.

The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column on the specified date once information is finalized for all hours on that date, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=UUWW
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C.
This market can not resolve to "Yes" until data for this date has been finalized.
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.
Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is finalized for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.
