Highest temperature in Tokyo on July 10?

Platform comparison

Market context

The underlying event is the highest temperature recorded at Tokyo Haneda Airport on 10 July 2026, a single day in a month where daily highs typically exceed 30°C. Historical data confirms July is scorching and humid in Tokyo, with average highs around 35°C and frequent peaks above 36°C, making a 0% YES probability for a low temperature range highly counterintuitive unless the market defines “YES” as an extreme cold outlier [3][4]. Comparable cases from recent years show Haneda Airport rarely dips below 25°C in July, with recorded highs consistently between 29°C and 36°C, reinforcing that the current crowd-implied probability likely reflects a misalignment between the market’s resolution thresholds and actual climatic norms [1][2].

Traders should monitor Wunderground’s real-time updates for 10 July 2026, as the market resolves exclusively on this source’s highest recorded temperature for the day [1]. While no immediate weather announcements are scheduled, the dependency on a single data provider introduces resolution risk if the feed is delayed or corrupted. Recent forecasts for 10 July indicate clear skies with a high of 32°C, suggesting the actual temperature will fall well within typical summer ranges, not the extreme low implied by the 0% YES stance [2]. The absence of regulatory announcements affecting Japanese weather data collection further stabilises the resolution pathway, though traders must remain aware that German GlüStV and US CFTC frameworks may indirectly influence market accessibility for non-KYC participants up to $1,500, a threshold that currently permits broad entry without identity verification for this specific weather-based prediction.
