Highest temperature in Seoul on July 7?

Platform comparison

Market context

Seoul’s July heat is intensifying, with daily highs typically climbing from 81°F to 85°F and rarely dipping below 74°F or exceeding 91°F[1]. Historical data shows that extreme heatwaves in the region, such as the 2018 event when Seoul hit 39.6°C, are becoming more frequent and severe[2]. The current crowd-implied probability of 0% for a specific temperature range suggests traders are betting against an outlier event, yet recent records from 2025—where temperatures reached 41.2°C and 22 tropical nights occurred—indicate that such extremes are no longer impossible[4]. With the Korea Meteorological Administration forecasting sustained above-average temperatures and no significant rainfall through early August, the baseline for July 7, 2026, leans toward persistent, high-intensity heat[2].

Traders should monitor immediate weather bulletins from the Ministry of the Interior and Safety, which recently elevated heatwave alerts to the highest “severe” level six days earlier than last year[2]. Key dependencies include the timing of monsoon rains, which could temporarily suppress temperatures, and the persistence of tropical nights, a factor that has driven record-breaking heat in recent summers[4]. Recent forecasts from AccuWeather for July 2026 predict daily highs between 79°F and 94°F, with overnight lows remaining warm between 72°F and 79°F, reinforcing the likelihood of sustained high temperatures[6]. Any sudden shift in rainfall patterns or cloud cover, as hinted by local reports of heavy rain in July, could alter the trajectory, but the prevailing trend points to continued extreme heat[9].
