Official meteorological observations and model consensus support the market's near-certain positioning on a 37°C high in Chengdu on August 24, driven by strong subsidence and clear skies across the Sichuan Basin that maximized daytime heating. Late-summer climatology shows typical peaks near 32–34°C, yet current conditions—low humidity aloft, light winds, and minimal cloud cover—pushed surface temperatures higher, consistent with verified station readings approaching that threshold. Traders assign full probability because resolution hinges on official China Meteorological Administration maximums, with little room for downward revision once data finalize. Only an unexpected late-day convective cell or post-hoc station adjustment could realistically alter the outcome before settlement.
