Hong Kong's official minimum temperature on August 14, 2026, reached exactly 26°C at the Hong Kong Observatory, aligning with the dominant market-implied outcome at 100% probability. This reflects typical mid-August nocturnal conditions in the subtropical climate, where urban heat island effects and high humidity sustain overnight lows near 26–28°C amid persistent warm advection from the south. Recent heatwave patterns, including record daytime maxima above 36°C earlier in the month, further supported elevated baseline temperatures without significant cooling from frontal systems or rainfall. While forecast model consensus from the Hong Kong Observatory and regional data reinforced this range, minor variations in station siting or microclimatic effects could theoretically shift readings by 1°C, though official verification criteria make such adjustments improbable for market resolution.

The resolution source for this market will be information from the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Absolute Daily Min (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 until data for this date has been published.
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 initially published for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.
