Highest temperature in Seoul (Incheon) on August 8?

Platform comparison

Market context

Seoul’s heat profile points to a hot afternoon at Incheon, with private forecasters showing highs around 35–36°C and only limited relief from showers or thunderstorm chances. AccuWeather’s August outlook has Seoul running up to 97°F on 8 August, while timeanddate’s hourly page shows temperatures climbing from the low 30s Celsius in the morning towards the mid-30s by late morning and early afternoon.[1][3][7]

A **0% YES** price is easier to read as a data-quality or pricing artefact than a true view that the station will miss the market’s target range. Comparable Seoul August forecasts typically cluster in the low-to-mid 30s Celsius, and the Korea Meteorological Administration is also flagging sustained heat and only intermittent rain, which usually supports a high-temperature settlement in the upper bands rather than an outlier cool day.[8][11][18][19]

Traders should watch the day’s rolling forecast updates, because the settlement depends on the *highest* reading in Weather Underground’s Daily Observations table for Incheon Intl Airport Station, not the summary high/low figure. The key catalysts are any late-morning thunderstorm timing, sea-breeze effects near the airport, and whether cloud cover or precipitation arrives early enough to cap the midday maximum; Weather Underground was already showing a near-98°F reading in Seoul conditions earlier in the day, suggesting the atmospheric setup remains hot despite some shower risk.[2][10]
