This market will resolve based on the highest temperature recorded in the 'Daily Observations' table on Weather Underground, not the figure displayed in the 'Day High & Low' summary section; in the event of any discrepancy between the two, the Daily Observations table shall be the primary resolution source not the Day High & Low section. This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the Masroor Airbase Station in degrees Celsius on 21 Aug '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day for the Masroor Airbase Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/pk/karachi/OPKC. To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the gear icon next to the search bar and switch the Temperature setting between °F and °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.
Recent Pakistan Meteorological Department forecasts and model guidance for late August point to maximum temperatures in Karachi stabilizing near 32°C, driven by persistent hot, humid conditions under weak monsoon influence in southern Sindh. Climatological averages for the period show daily highs typically between 31–33°C, with cloud cover and sea-surface temperatures moderating extreme excursions while limiting widespread cooling from rain. Current observations around 32°C, combined with isolated thundershower chances mainly affecting upper regions rather than the coast, support the market’s heavy weighting toward 32°C. Updated short-range guidance over the next 48 hours will refine these probabilities ahead of August 21 resolution.
