**Recent severe gales have driven trader consensus toward a high-end outcome for peak August wind gusts in Wellington, New Zealand—the world's windiest city.** On 23 August 2026, Mt Kaukau recorded a gust of 168 km/h amid strong northwesterlies from a Tasman Sea front, already surpassing the 104 km/h threshold and prompting flight disruptions plus power outages. Wellington's exposure to the Roaring Forties westerlies, funneled and accelerated through the narrow Cook Strait between steep terrain, routinely produces frequent strong gusts in winter months. Historical records show August gusts commonly exceed 96 km/h at exposed sites like the airport or hills, with occasional peaks well above 130 km/h. The current event, occurring late in the month with additional unsettled weather possible, has elevated implied probabilities for 104 km/h or above while leaving room for further intensification before month-end.

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.
