Highest temperature in Chengdu on July 31?

Platform comparison

Market context

The event is the highest air temperature recorded at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport on 31 July, with the market settling on the temperature band that contains that day’s observed maximum. Chengdu’s late-July climate is typically hot, humid and rain-prone, so the relevant question is usually whether afternoon heating can briefly outrun cloud cover and convective rain rather than whether the city stays warm overall.[3][11][20]

That is why a **0% YES** crowd price should be read cautiously: historical July averages cluster around 30–31°C, but the upper tail in Chengdu can reach the mid-to-high 30s, with one guide listing a July record high of 37.3°C and another showing 31 July as a day with an average high near 35.7°C in its July history table.[3][8] For a single-day airport observation, traders typically focus on whether a hot, clear spell develops in the early afternoon; comparable cases in Chengdu show that maxima can vary sharply with rain timing and cloud cover, even within the same month.[12][14]

From a market-access perspective, the regulatory framing matters. German users face the **GlüStV** regime, under which online gambling-style products can attract restrictions and platform access controls, while US persons may also encounter **CFTC** jurisdictional issues if the contract is treated as an event-based derivatives product rather than a simple bet. “No-KYC up to $1,500” generally means smaller deposits or withdrawals may be available without full identity verification, which lowers friction for casual access but does not remove geoblocking, sanctions screening or account limits tied to residency and compliance checks.
