**Current forecasts from multiple meteorological sources, including the South African Weather Service and international models, indicate a daytime high near 16°C for Cape Town on August 30, with partly cloudy to clear skies under southerly flow.** This aligns with the market’s leading outcomes clustered at 16–18°C, reflecting modest uncertainty in exact peak values amid typical late-winter variability in the region. Cape Town’s August climate features average maximums of 15–18°C influenced by the cold Benguela Current and frequent south-easterly winds that suppress temperatures. Recent model consensus shows a ridge building after possible showers on the 29th, promoting clearer conditions and light-to-moderate winds (10–20 km/h) that limit daytime heating while preventing significant cooling. Historical analogs and current pressure patterns support a narrow range around 16°C rather than extremes. No major anomalies or rapid model shifts have emerged in the past 48 hours, keeping implied probabilities anchored to ensemble guidance with resolution expected within official South African observations for the calendar day.

The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column for all times on this day, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=fact
If NOAA data for the observation date is unavailable by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table will be used as the resolution source.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C.
This market can not resolve until the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Celsius (eg, 9°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Revisions to temperatures recorded within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following date has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered.
