Recent National Environment Agency guidance for early August 2026 highlights drier-than-average conditions and daily maximum temperatures of 33–34 °C on most days, driven by reduced cloud cover and occasional windy periods that limit afternoon convective cooling. Current deterministic and ensemble guidance from regional models aligns with this outlook, projecting a peak near 32–33 °C on 4 August amid typical tropical humidity (70–90 %) and scattered thundery showers that may briefly suppress the high. Market-implied odds heavily favor these two outcomes because they match the consensus range while acknowledging residual uncertainty from exact shower timing and localized wind shifts; historical August maxima average 31 °C, but the drier signal supports the modest upward shift reflected in trader positioning. Updated short-range model runs and the next NEA advisory will provide the key data points for any further adjustment.
