Market context

This market settles on the highest temperature recorded at Taipei Songshan Airport on 26 May 2026, with resolution sourced from Weather Underground historical data. The settlement window closes at midday UTC on that date, allowing for final temperature readings to be confirmed before resolution.

Taipei's late May climate is well-established in meteorological records. Historical data from Songshan Airport shows typical maximum temperatures in the 28–32°C range during late May, with occasional peaks above 33°C during heat waves. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders are awaiting clarity on which temperature band the market offers, or the specific ranges remain unspecified in current market conditions. Comparable May weather patterns from the past decade indicate that temperatures below 28°C are uncommon, whilst readings above 35°C occur in roughly 5–10% of years during this period.

Traders should monitor seasonal weather forecasts released in the weeks preceding 26 May 2026, particularly from the Central Weather Administration in Taiwan and international models tracking potential heat systems affecting East Asia. La Niña or El Niño conditions in early 2026 could influence May temperatures materially. Real-time forecast updates from Weather Underground itself will become increasingly precise as the date approaches, typically showing reliable 10–14 day outlooks by mid-May. Any tropical systems or unusual atmospheric patterns developing in the region during May will shift probability distributions across temperature bands.
