توقع: Highest temperature in Shanghai on August 3?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shanghai is set up for another muggy August heat spell, with forecast highs clustered in the low 30s Celsius and some models pushing the city towards the mid-30s. AccuWeather’s August outlook has Shanghai’s daily highs ranging from about 82°F to 92°F, while other August guides put the month’s typical highs around 31–32°C and note that 3 August itself sits near 34–35°C in several forecasts.[1][6][8][11][18] For this market, the key is not the daily average but the *single highest* reading recorded at Shanghai Pudong International Airport Station before the settlement window closes.

That makes a 0% crowd price easy to understand only if traders are treating the market as practically impossible to exceed the forecast range, but comparable August climates in Shanghai have produced much hotter extremes. Travel guides cite a 39°C peak in August 2025, and one August reference lists 34.5°C for 3 August as a representative high, showing that the city can still spike well above its monthly mean when heat and humidity build under weak ventilation.[4][16] Official daily forecasts on 2 August also showed Shanghai at 29–37°C with cloudy conditions, which is consistent with a very warm start to the month even without a major heatwave.[5]

The main catalysts are late heatwave upgrades, typhoon-related air-mass changes, and whether any forecast verification pages at Wunderground show an updated station peak as the day progresses. Shanghai’s August pattern is typically hot and humid with frequent rain or thunderstorms, so the upper bound often depends on whether cloud cover and precipitation arrive early enough to cap the afternoon maximum.[2][4][6][9][11] Traders should watch for a revised high-temperature forecast at Pudong and any official city weather updates that signal a stronger-than-expected hot spell or, alternatively, earlier convective rain that would suppress the day’s ceiling.[5][17]

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
