Recent short-range forecasts from the China Meteorological Administration and global models indicate Shanghai’s overnight low on May 20 will likely settle near 20–22 °C under a persistent high-pressure ridge that traps heat and limits radiative cooling at Pudong International Airport. This setup continues the mid-May warm anomaly observed in recent nights, where minima have exceeded the 16–18 °C climatological average for late spring. Light southeast winds below 12 km/h and increasing cloud cover further suppress temperature drops, elevating the market-implied odds for readings of 22 °C or higher. Updated model runs through the next 48 hours will refine the exact threshold, while any late clearing could allow modest cooling toward 19 °C.

The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the lowest temperature recorded for all times on this day by the Forecast for the Shanghai Pudong International Airport Station once information is finalized, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/cn/shanghai/ZSPD.
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 to "Yes" until all 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.
