Pronóstico: Highest temperature in Taipei on August 8?

Platform comparison

Market context

Taipei Songshan Airport is facing an August heat test that usually centres on the low-to-mid 30s Celsius, but the city has a genuine history of short-lived extremes that can push far beyond the norm. Typical August highs for Taipei are around 30–34°C, while major past spikes have reached 38.5°C in 2017 and 39.3°C on 8 August 2013, so a market priced at 0% YES is effectively assuming nothing close to those outlier conditions develops on the day.[2][4][12]

For traders, the key driver is whether the airport station gets any brief afternoon surge rather than just the headline day high from a forecast app. Current forecast services are already split on how warm and wet the day looks: AccuWeather shows about 89–90°F with heavy rain developing, while Time and Date has 88/78°F with very high rain chances and overcast skies, which would normally cap the upside on the maximum recorded temperature.[1][7][8][17] The market resolves off Weather Underground’s Daily Observations for Taipei Songshan Airport, so the most relevant catalyst is the intraday sequence there: timing of showers, cloud break, and any late-day convective burst that could briefly lift the recorded high above forecast ranges.[6]

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
