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 Los Angeles International Airport Station in degrees Fahrenheit on 18 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 Los Angeles International Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ca/los-angeles/KLAX. 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 Fahrenheit (eg, 21°F). 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.
National Weather Service guidance and ensemble models highlight persistent moderate onshore flow and a shallow marine layer as the dominant factors capping Los Angeles highs near 78–79°F on August 18. Sea-breeze advection and overnight stratus suppress daytime warming despite mostly sunny skies after morning clearance, with 10–15 mph southwest winds further limiting boundary-layer mixing. This setup aligns with coastal station readings around 77–79°F while downtown approaches 84°F, producing tight market clustering in the lower brackets. Model consensus shows no imminent offshore flow or thermal trough to elevate values, though small variations in burn-off timing could shift outcomes within the favored range before resolution.
