This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded by NOAA at the Gimhae Intl Airport Station in degrees Celsius on 25 Aug '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column for all times on this day, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=rkpk To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C. This market can not resolve until the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source. The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Celsius (eg, 9°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. Revisions to temperatures recorded within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following date has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered.
Persistent dominance of the North Pacific high-pressure system is sustaining hot, humid conditions across southern South Korea into late August 2026, driving trader expectations toward peak temperatures of 35–36°C in Busan on August 25. Official forecasts and recent Korea Meteorological Administration guidance indicate daytime highs of 31–35°C nationally, with Busan (influenced by maritime air but still under the high’s edge) likely seeing strong solar heating under mostly clear to partly cloudy skies, light southerly or variable winds, and high humidity that limits nighttime cooling but supports daytime maxima. Model consensus on exact peak values remains sensitive to small shifts in cloud timing or sea-breeze onset, keeping the 35°C and 36°C brackets closely matched while leaving room for a 37°C outlier if insolation exceeds current projections.
