Wellington, New Zealand, experiences its strongest gusts through the narrow Cook Strait, where Roaring Forties winds are funneled and accelerated by topography, often producing northwest or southerly gales. In August 2026, a mid-month low-pressure system already delivered recorded gusts of 122 km/h at Kelburn, establishing a monthly peak well above the 104 km/h threshold. Late-month forecasts from MetService and NIWA indicate additional northwesterly gales with gusts potentially reaching 90–100 km/h amid unsettled conditions, though high-pressure building could limit further intensification. Historical August climatology shows frequent 90–110 km/h events at exposed sites, with model guidance carrying typical uncertainty ranges of 10–15 km/h. Trader positioning favors the 104 km/h+ bin as the current peak and remaining storm potential make lower brackets less probable, while the 45–55% combined range for sub-104 outcomes reflects scope for quieter final days.

This market will resolve to the wind-gust range that contains the maximum wind gust, in km/h, recorded in any routine (METAR) or special (SPECI) observation from Wellington Airport (ICAO: NZWN) between August 1, 2026 12:00 AM ET and August 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET. Wellington, New Zealand is widely recognized as the world's windiest city, and its airport regularly records powerful gusts that make headlines and viral landing videos worldwide.
The resolution source for this market is the gust value in the wind group of NZWN's raw METAR/SPECI observations, encoded in knots (for example, "34020G45KT" denotes a 45-knot gust), as archived by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet (IEM) for station NZWN in network NF__ASOS ("New Zealand ASOS"). Gust speed is converted from knots using 1 kt = 1.852 km/h, rounded half-up to the nearest whole number. Because gusts are reported in whole knots, no observed gust converts to a value on a bracket boundary, so every observation maps to exactly one range.
The month's highest gust can be located via the IEM Data Calendar for NZWN: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/sites/hist.phtml?network=NF__ASOS&year=2026&month=8&mode=monthly&station=NZWN. Each calendar day displays that day's peak gust inline; clicking a day's date opens the daily Summary for NF__ASOS, where the Peak Gust column in the NZWN (Wellington) row shows the day's maximum. Ensure station NZWN is selected, as the NF__ASOS network includes other New Zealand stations. Note that the IEM calendar and summary pages display gusts in mph; resolution is based on the knot value in the underlying raw METAR, which IEM archives alongside each parsed observation and which can be used to independently verify any value.
If any observations are missing or unavailable, this market will resolve to the range containing the highest gust reported during the resolution window. Should the IEM archive be unavailable or discontinued, this market will resolve based on the equivalent raw METAR/SPECI observations for NZWN from another credible archive or the original reporting authority.Wellington, New Zealand, experiences its strongest gusts through the narrow Cook Strait, where Roaring Forties winds are funneled and accelerated by topography, often producing northwest or southerly gales.
