Highest temperature in Shenzhen on July 27?

Platform comparison

Market context

The event is the day’s **highest temperature** at Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport Station, as recorded by the Wunderground history page for 27 July 2026. Shenzhen’s July climate is typically hot, humid and rain-prone, with average highs around 32°C and a pronounced wet season from May to September, so the market will usually resolve off a peak that forms during a warm, unstable summer day rather than a cold snap.[1][5]

For a programme-driven trader, the key is to treat this as an intraday **range** problem, not a single-point forecast. A bot or conditional-order setup would typically watch live hourly temperature, cloud cover and precipitation probability, then map the observed high against the market’s settlement bands; in Shenzhen, convection and short-lived storms can cap the daytime maximum or keep it close to the low 30s Celsius.[2][3][4] Current crowd pricing at 0% YES implies the market is effectively discounting a qualifying high in the target band, which is unusual given the seasonal baseline and is more likely to reflect uncertainty about the exact resolution range than a view that the city will be cold.[1][5]

The main catalysts are the overnight and morning forecast updates, any sudden shift in rain timing, and the airport station’s reported peak before the settlement window closes. The latest live weather feeds show warm, humid conditions with non-trivial precipitation chances, so traders watching through an API would focus on whether afternoon heating is interrupted by cloud build-up or thunderstorms, since that determines whether the daily maximum lands in a lower or higher Celsius band.[2][3][4]

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket Bot UK, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
