Persistent showers and thunderstorms tied to a broad trough of low pressure over the South China Sea are suppressing maximum temperatures in Hong Kong on August 2, 2026, keeping trader focus on the 26–28°C outcomes amid widespread cloud cover that limits solar heating and promotes evaporative cooling. Official forecasts from the Hong Kong Observatory indicate a daytime range of roughly 24–29°C under moderate southeasterly flow, well below the seasonal August climatological average high near 31–32°C. While the agency’s August–October outlook calls for normal to above-normal temperatures overall, near-term meteorological conditions dominate market pricing, with resolution hinging on the verified daily maximum; any unexpected clearing could briefly push readings higher, though model consensus currently favors continued instability.

The resolution source for this market will be information from the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Absolute Daily Max (deg. C)" the specified date once information is finalized in the relevant "Daily Extract", available here: https://www.weather.gov.hk/en/cis/climat.htm
This market can not resolve until data for this date has been published.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures in Celsius to one decimal place (eg, 9.1°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is initially published for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.
