The market's overwhelming consensus on 18°C reflects the latest observational data and forecast model runs from the Japan Meteorological Agency, which show Tokyo's overnight minimum stabilizing near this value under typical mid-May spring conditions with moderate humidity and light winds. Recent upper-air analyses confirm a stable high-pressure system suppressing any rapid cooling, aligning with historical climatological baselines where May minima in the city average 14–18°C. Trader positioning incorporates the narrow uncertainty range in ensemble predictions, where small deviations from expected radiative cooling at night could still keep readings within the dominant bin. Any unforecasted increase in cloud cover or a shift in onshore flow before midnight represents the primary realistic scenario that might nudge the final low slightly higher or lower, though current model agreement keeps such shifts unlikely.
