This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded by NOAA at the Cape Town International Airport Station in degrees Celsius on 8 Sep '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=fact If NOAA data for the observation date is unavailable by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table will be used as the resolution source. In the event that there is no data for the observation date by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket. To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C. This market will resolve once the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source, or by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, whichever comes first. 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.
Forecast models for Cape Town on September 8 point to a warm, mostly sunny spring day with light variable winds and minimal cloud cover, supporting daily maximum temperatures in the upper 20s °C. Recent observations show the region already running several degrees above the September climatological average of roughly 18–20 °C, with a 27.4 °C reading recorded just two days earlier. The narrow spread among leading market outcomes (27–29 °C) reflects uncertainty in the precise peak, driven by the timing of any late-afternoon sea-breeze shift or slight model differences in boundary-layer mixing. Official guidance from agencies such as the South African Weather Service will provide the final verified maximum used for market resolution.
