Forecast consensus from multiple meteorological models points to a high of 28–29°C in Shanghai on September 18, driving the strong market preference for those outcomes. Persistent cloud cover, light northerly winds, and moderate humidity under late-summer subtropical conditions are expected to limit daytime heating while preventing significant cooling. Recent observations show similar highs near 28°C amid stable atmospheric patterns without strong fronts or clear skies that could push temperatures higher or lower. Official guidance highlights mostly cloudy skies with only isolated showers possible, keeping the range narrow and aligning with historical September averages for the region. New model runs or afternoon observations could refine the exact peak before resolution.

The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column for all times on this day, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=zspd
If NOAA data for the observation date is unavailable by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table will be used as the resolution source.
In the event that there is no data for the observation date by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C.
This market will resolve once the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source, or by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, whichever comes first.
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.
