**The market consensus on 84–85°F at LAX reflects the strong Pacific marine layer that capped coastal maxima during the late-August Southern California heat wave.** Official NWS observations and model guidance showed persistent onshore southwest flow and a shallow marine layer maintaining elevated dew points and limiting afternoon heating at the airport, while inland valleys exceeded 100°F. This produced a narrow observed high in the mid-80s at the resolution station, well below downtown Los Angeles readings near 97°F. Traders priced in near-certainty once preliminary climatological data confirmed the range, consistent with historical coastal moderation patterns under similar synoptic setups. A late data revision or measurement discrepancy at the LAX station remains the only realistic path to altering the outcome before final resolution.

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=klax
This market will resolve off of the Hourly Data provided using the "Show Hourly Data" button.
If NOAA data is unavailable or missing for the observation period, Weather Underground will be used as the secondary resolution source.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to US Units w/ kts" button until the relevant table displays °F.
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 Fahrenheit (eg, 21°F). 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.
