Questions

How is the San Francisco temperature market settled?
On the highest temperature recorded at KSFO, San Francisco International Airport Station, in that station's own daily history for the local calendar day. No other station counts, and the reading is taken in whole degrees Fahrenheit.
When does it close?
At midnight in San Francisco's own local time, so the countdown differs from every other city on the board. The whole local day is measured before it settles.
Where does your probability come from?
A weighted blend of the station's own printed maximum so far, what the same station did from this exact hour on each of the last fifteen days, and the forecast stack. Once the day starts reporting, the observations carry roughly two thirds of the call and the forecast the rest.
Is this trading advice?
No. It is model output published beside the traded price so the two can be compared. A model with a good record can still be wrong on any given day.
