Persistent northwesterly flow and widespread cloud cover from an approaching frontal system are suppressing daytime heating in Cape Town, with official and ensemble forecasts converging on a September 14 maximum of 17–18 °C amid frequent showers and gusty winds. These conditions align with the market’s leading 18 °C outcome (37.5 % implied probability), while the secondary 19 °C and 17 °C contracts reflect residual model spread in timing and intensity of clearing. September climatology places the long-term average high near 19 °C, so the current cool, moist regime represents a modest negative anomaly driven by the synoptic pattern rather than seasonal norms. Traders will monitor the next 12–24 h model runs and any late adjustments from the South African Weather Service for evidence of brief breaks that could push the daily peak higher or lock in the lower end of the range.

The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column for all times on this day, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=fact
If NOAA data for the observation date is unavailable by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table will be used as the resolution source.
In the event that there is no data for the observation date by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C.
This market will resolve once the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source, or by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, whichever comes first.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Celsius (eg, 9°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Revisions to temperatures recorded within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following date has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered.
