Active 2026 Northwest Pacific typhoon activity, with at least four confirmed landfalls in China through early August (Bavi in Zhejiang, Maysak in Hainan, Noul in Guangdong, and Dolphin approaching Zhejiang), underpins the tightly clustered market odds around 5–8+ events. China's National Climate Center forecasts 7–9 total landfalls for the year, above the long-term average of roughly 7, citing elevated sea-surface temperatures and steering patterns that favor recurvature toward the Chinese coast during the July–September peak. Remaining uncertainty stems from variability in late-season genesis rates, track forecasts from agencies like the JMA and CMA, and potential shifts in the subtropical ridge that could divert systems eastward. Traders weigh these official outlooks against historical analogs showing 6–10 annual impacts when basin activity exceeds norms.

This market will resolve based on the total number of tropical cyclones recorded making landfall in China during the calendar year 2026 as published on the China Meteorological Administration (CMA) Tropical Cyclone Data Center "Landfalling TCs" page (https://tcdata.typhoon.org.cn/en/dlrdqx.html) in the annual Best Track Dataset update for 2026.
All landfalling tropical cyclones listed by the CMA on that page count toward the total, regardless of their intensity category at landfall (tropical depression, tropical storm, severe tropical storm, typhoon, severe typhoon, or super typhoon). What constitutes a landfall in China (including which mainland and island locations qualify) is determined solely by the CMA's records on that page. Each tropical cyclone is counted once toward the total, regardless of how many separate times it makes landfall.
One bracket will resolve "Yes" and all others "No".
If the CMA "Landfalling TCs" page is inaccessible or the 2026 Best Track Dataset has not been updated by June 30, 2027, resolution will instead be based on the number of tropical cyclones reported by China as making landfall for the 2026 season - counted on the same all-intensity basis - in the ESCAP/WMO Typhoon Committee Annual Session final report for the 2026 season (https://www.typhooncommittee.org).Active 2026 Northwest Pacific typhoon activity, with at least four confirmed landfalls in China through early August (Bavi in Zhejiang, Maysak in Hainan, Noul in Guangdong, and Dolphin approaching Zhejiang), underpins the tightly clustered market odds around 5–8+ events.
