Current forecast models from regional meteorological services indicate a likely daily high near 13–14°C for Wellington on July 22, driven by typical mid-winter synoptic patterns with moderate northerly flow and limited solar heating under mostly cloudy conditions. Long-term climatology places average July maxima around 11–12°C, with recent seasonal outlooks from NIWA showing near- or below-average temperatures across the lower North Island. Short-range guidance shows no strong warming signals or cold outbreaks shifting the distribution, keeping the 14°C outcome as the market leader at 55.5% implied probability. Updated model runs over the next 48 hours will refine confidence ahead of resolution.
