Highest temperature in Shenzhen on August 20?

Platform comparison

Market context

Shenzhen will experience peak summer heat on 20 August 2026, with the highest temperature recorded at Bao'an International Airport Station determining the resolution bracket. August represents the tail end of Shenzhen's monsoon season, though rainfall typically diminishes by late month, leaving intense heat as the dominant weather pattern.

Historical August temperatures at Shenzhen Bao'an show consistent peaks between 32–35°C during the third week of the month. Data from the past decade indicates that daily highs rarely exceed 36°C in mid-to-late August, as the most extreme heat typically occurs in July. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders expect the outcome to fall outside the highest temperature bracket offered, reflecting the statistical rarity of exceptional heat spikes during this specific window rather than any unusual atmospheric conditions anticipated for 2026.

The critical variable remains the precise measurement methodology. Weather Underground's Daily Observations table—the designated resolution source—occasionally records temperatures marginally higher than the Day High & Low summary section due to timing of readings and sensor calibration. Traders should monitor whether tropical systems develop in the South China Sea during early August 2026, as these can either suppress temperatures through cloud cover or, conversely, increase humidity and apparent heat stress. The settlement window closes at midday UTC on 20 August, meaning only morning and early-afternoon readings will count toward resolution.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
