Highest temperature in Seoul on July 25?

Platform comparison

Market context

Seoul experiences peak summer heat in late July, with daily highs typically ranging from 28 to 32 degrees Celsius during this period. The Incheon International Airport Station, situated west of the city centre, serves as the official measurement point for this market. Historical data from the Korea Meteorological Administration shows that 25 July has recorded temperatures between 26 and 34 degrees Celsius over the past two decades, with extreme heat events becoming more frequent in recent years. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders are uncertain about which specific temperature band will be recorded, or that the market's resolution criteria remain unclear to participants.

Comparable weather prediction markets on this platform typically see probability clustering around historical medians once traders familiarise themselves with the measurement station's microclimate and seasonal patterns. Incheon's coastal location moderates temperatures relative to central Seoul, a distinction that affects how historical records translate to this specific settlement location. The current flat probability distribution indicates limited trading activity or disagreement about baseline expectations for late July conditions.

Traders should monitor the Korea Meteorological Administration's seasonal forecasts and any tropical cyclone activity in the Western Pacific, which can significantly alter temperature trajectories in late July. Heat wave advisories issued by South Korean authorities typically appear 5–7 days before onset, providing actionable signals. The settlement window closes at 12:00 UTC on 25 July 2026, meaning only the highest temperature recorded up to that point counts; afternoon peaks after settlement are excluded from resolution.
