The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day for the LaGuardia Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-city/KLGA.

Latest National Weather Service and NOAA model consensus for August 17 in New York City centers on a daily high near 82–85°F, with traders assigning nearly equal weight to the 82–83°F and 84–85°F bins amid typical late-summer conditions. Primary drivers include peak solar insolation under partly cloudy skies, elevated dew points sustaining urban heat-island effects, and limited Atlantic sea-breeze penetration that could cap afternoon temperatures. Minor forecast differences hinge on the exact timing and coverage of any convective clouds or onshore flow, which recent ensemble runs show as low-probability but capable of shaving 1–2°F from the maximum. Historical Central Park data place the August average high at 83°F, providing a climatological baseline against which current guidance shows only modest deviation.
