Recent severe gales across Wellington, including a confirmed 168 km/h gust at exposed Mt Kaukau on August 23, have driven the overwhelming market consensus toward a peak August gust of 104 km/h or higher. Wellington’s position funnels strong westerly and southerly flows through Cook Strait, amplified by steep pressure gradients typical of Southern Hemisphere winter. Official MetService observations and warnings consistently show gusts exceeding severe thresholds in exposed locations during this season, aligning with historical patterns where peaks well above 100 km/h occur multiple times annually. Remaining August days feature continued model guidance for strong winds, though a rapid shift to calmer conditions across all monitoring sites could theoretically limit further escalation if no additional fronts develop before month-end.

This market will resolve to the wind-gust range that contains the maximum wind gust, in km/h, recorded in any routine (METAR) or special (SPECI) observation from Wellington Airport (ICAO: NZWN) between August 1, 2026 12:00 AM ET and August 31, 2026 11:59 PM ET. Wellington, New Zealand is widely recognized as the world's windiest city, and its airport regularly records powerful gusts that make headlines and viral landing videos worldwide.
The resolution source for this market is the gust value in the wind group of NZWN's raw METAR/SPECI observations, encoded in knots (for example, "34020G45KT" denotes a 45-knot gust), as archived by the Iowa Environmental Mesonet (IEM) for station NZWN in network NF__ASOS ("New Zealand ASOS"). Gust speed is converted from knots using 1 kt = 1.852 km/h, rounded half-up to the nearest whole number. Because gusts are reported in whole knots, no observed gust converts to a value on a bracket boundary, so every observation maps to exactly one range.
The month's highest gust can be located via the IEM Data Calendar for NZWN: https://mesonet.agron.iastate.edu/sites/hist.phtml?network=NF__ASOS&year=2026&month=8&mode=monthly&station=NZWN. Each calendar day displays that day's peak gust inline; clicking a day's date opens the daily Summary for NF__ASOS, where the Peak Gust column in the NZWN (Wellington) row shows the day's maximum. Ensure station NZWN is selected, as the NF__ASOS network includes other New Zealand stations. Note that the IEM calendar and summary pages display gusts in mph; resolution is based on the knot value in the underlying raw METAR, which IEM archives alongside each parsed observation and which can be used to independently verify any value.
If any observations are missing or unavailable, this market will resolve to the range containing the highest gust reported during the resolution window. Should the IEM archive be unavailable or discontinued, this market will resolve based on the equivalent raw METAR/SPECI observations for NZWN from another credible archive or the original reporting authority.Recent severe gales across Wellington, including a confirmed 168 km/h gust at exposed Mt Kaukau on August 23, have driven the overwhelming market consensus toward a peak August gust of 104 km/h or higher.
