Highest temperature in Shanghai on May 30?

Market context

Shanghai's weather on 30 May 2026 will determine which temperature band captures the day's peak reading at Pudong International Airport. The settlement hinges on historical records from Wunderground, making seasonal norms and recent climate patterns the primary interpretive framework for traders assessing likelihood across temperature brackets.

May in Shanghai typically sits within a warm, humid band. Historical data from the past two decades shows late-May highs clustering between 28–32°C, with occasional excursions toward 34–35°C during heat waves. The 0% crowd probability across all temperature ranges suggests either a data-entry error, missing bracket options, or genuine uncertainty about which specific range will resolve. Comparable May 30th readings from 2015–2024 show no single outcome dominating; traders should cross-reference Wunderground's historical daily records for Shanghai to establish baseline expectations before committing capital.

Catalysts affecting the outcome include the East Asian monsoon transition, which typically intensifies moisture and convection in late May, and any anomalous high-pressure systems tracking across eastern China. The China Meteorological Administration publishes 10-day forecasts that update regularly; checking these alongside Wunderground's own forecast tool will signal whether meteorologists expect above or below-normal temperatures for the settlement date. Tropical cyclone activity in the Western Pacific, though less common in May than later months, occasionally influences Shanghai's weather patterns and should be monitored through June forecasts issued in early May.

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Best Prediction Markets, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
