Highest temperature in Shenzhen on August 19?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shenzhen's August heat will be measured at Bao'an International Airport on 19 August 2026, with the highest temperature recorded in the Daily Observations table determining the settlement outcome. The current 0% probability suggests traders are either confident the temperature will fall below the lowest range option or are simply absent from this market. Shenzhen experiences peak summer conditions in mid-August, with historical data showing consistent daily highs in the 32–35°C band during this period, making extreme outliers unlikely but not impossible given the city's subtropical climate and occasional weather system disruptions.

August represents the tail end of Shenzhen's monsoon season, though rainfall typically diminishes by mid-month. Historical August records at Bao'an show maximum temperatures have ranged from 31°C to 37°C over recent decades, with the 33–35°C range accounting for the majority of observations. Traders should note that the resolution source specifies the Daily Observations table on Weather Underground rather than summary figures, which can occasionally diverge; this distinction matters for edge cases where different measurement protocols might yield slightly different readings.

The settlement window closes at midday UTC on 19 August 2026, giving traders until that point to assess any weather forecasts or atmospheric patterns that might push temperatures toward the extremes. Tropical cyclone activity in the South China Sea during late summer occasionally influences Shenzhen's weather, though such systems typically bring cloud cover and precipitation that suppress peak temperatures rather than elevate them.

UK Frequently Asked Questions

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

Which sports markets are available?

Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I trade Premier League prediction markets from the UK?

Yes. Polymarket has Premier League outcome markets (title winner, relegation, top scorer). For UK traders wanting GBP settlement and UKGC protection, Betfair Exchange and Smarkets offer Premier League futures and match markets. Betfair is the deepest liquidity venue for UK football exchange markets.
