Persistent cloud cover and scattered showers from a broad low-pressure trough over the northern South China Sea limited solar heating across Hong Kong on August 22, 2026, producing an official maximum of 31.8 °C at the Hong Kong Observatory headquarters. High humidity levels of 70–95 % combined with southwesterly flow further suppressed afternoon warming, keeping readings in the 31–32 °C range at the primary station while isolated sites briefly touched higher values. These verified observations from the authoritative source directly underpin the market’s 99.9 % consensus on 31 °C. Only an unexpected post-publication revision to the daily extract or a redefinition of the resolution station could alter the outcome, both of which remain improbable given the finalized data.

This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded by the Hong Kong Observatory in degrees Celsius on 22 Aug '26.
The resolution source for this market will be information from the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Absolute Daily Max (deg. C)" the specified date once information is finalized in the relevant "Daily Extract", available here: https://www.weather.gov.hk/en/cis/climat.htm
This market can not resolve until data for this date has been published.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures in Celsius to one decimal place (eg, 9.1°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is initially published for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.Persistent cloud cover and scattered showers from a broad low-pressure trough over the northern South China Sea limited solar heating across Hong Kong on August 22, 2026, producing an official maximum of 31.8 °C at the Hong Kong Observatory headquarters.
