**Persistent hot conditions driven by subtropical high pressure and residual effects from Tropical Cyclone Dolphin are keeping overnight lows elevated in Hong Kong.** With the Hong Kong Observatory forecasting normal to above-normal temperatures for August–October 2026 and recent daily minima clustered around 26–28°C amid the current heatwave, traders assign the highest implied probabilities to a minimum of 28°C (41%) or 29°C (29%) on August 13. Model guidance shows limited cooling potential through the period, as subsiding air maintains clear to partly cloudy skies and suppresses typical monsoon-driven drops. Historical August climatology places average overnight lows near 27°C, providing a baseline that aligns with the market’s concentration on 27–29°C outcomes (combined ~90% probability). Any shift would require an unexpected frontal passage or increased cloud cover and rainfall, neither of which is indicated in the latest official guidance.

The resolution source for this market will be information from the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Absolute Daily Min (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.
