How the number was reached
The call is a weighted blend. Each input below is an estimate of where the day finishes, and the centre is where they balance.
| Input | Says | Share of the blend |
|---|---|---|
| Station printed | 26.0°C | 52% |
| 15-day analog | 26.0°C | 18% |
| Hourly curve C | 26.0°C | 9% |
| Hourly curve F | 26.1°C | 8% |
| Nearby lead | 26.0°C | 8% |
| Daily forecast | 27.0°C | 5% |
Centre 26.1°C, with a floor at 26.0°C because the station has already printed it.

Questions
- How is the Shanghai temperature market settled?
- On the highest temperature recorded at ZSPD, Shanghai Pudong International Airport, in that station's own daily history for the local calendar day. No other station counts, and the reading is taken in whole degrees Celsius.
- When does it close?
- At midnight in Shanghai'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.
