Highest temperature in Taipei on July 20?

Platform comparison

Market context

Taipei Songshan Airport is forecast to hit 33°C (91°F) on 20 July 2026, with local thunderstorms likely and an 80% chance of precipitation by afternoon. This peak aligns with typical mid-summer highs for the station, where July averages range between 30°C and 35°C, though cloud cover and rain often suppress temperatures below the seasonal maximum. The current 0% YES crowd-implied probability suggests traders expect the day’s high to fall outside the specific range offered, possibly due to the anticipated storm activity limiting heat accumulation.

Historically, July 20 in Taipei has seen highs between 32°C and 36°C at Songshan, with 2023 and 2024 both recording 35°C under clear skies. However, years with similar thunderstorm forecasts, such as 2019, peaked at 32°C, indicating that precipitation can reliably cap temperatures. The 0% probability may reflect a market consensus that the stormy outlook will keep the high below the market’s threshold, a pattern consistent with recent wet July days in the region.

Traders should monitor Wunderground’s hourly updates for 20 July, particularly the timing and intensity of thunderstorms, as these directly influence the peak temperature. A sudden shift to dry, sunny conditions could push the high toward 35°C, altering the outcome. No official weather bulletins have been issued yet, but the MeteoBlue forecast of 80% precipitation chance remains the primary catalyst; any revision toward lower rain probability would be a key signal for probability shifts.
