Highest temperature in Beijing on July 25?

Platform comparison

Market context

Beijing's maximum temperature on 25 July 2026 will be recorded at the Capital International Airport meteorological station and resolved against historical data from Weather Underground. July is consistently the warmest month in Beijing's annual cycle, with average daily highs around 29–30°C, though extreme heat events regularly push readings into the mid-to-high 30s. The current 0% crowd-implied probability across prediction markets suggests traders are either awaiting clearer seasonal forecasts or treating this as a placeholder pending more granular temperature-band options.

Historical precedent shows July temperatures in Beijing frequently exceed 35°C. Records from the past decade reveal that peak summer days regularly reach 36–38°C, with the city experiencing heat waves of 5–10 consecutive days above 35°C during mid-to-late July. The 2020 and 2022 summer seasons both saw multiple days surpassing 37°C. Current market pricing at zero probability across major platforms—Polymarket, Kalshi, and comparable venues—reflects the absence of resolved comparable contracts rather than a genuine expectation of anomalously cool weather.

Traders should monitor China Meteorological Administration seasonal outlooks, typically released in June, which provide 30-day temperature trend guidance. El Niño or La Niña conditions influence East Asian summer patterns; current Pacific indices suggest neutral conditions heading into mid-2026. Real-time tracking begins in earnest after 15 July, when 10-day forecasts become reliable. The settlement window closes at noon UTC on 25 July, allowing only morning observations to influence final resolution, which may create pricing divergence between markets closing earlier or later in the trading day.
