Hong Kong Observatory (HKO) observations confirm that the highest air temperature across its automatic weather station network peaked at 28°C on April 17, 2026, under a weakening trough of low pressure that allowed sunny intervals amid isolated showers, driving trader consensus to a 99.9% implied probability for this outcome. This measurement, taken at standard 1.5-meter screen height, aligns with HKO's seasonal forecast of normal to above-normal April temperatures, consistent with 2026's projected warmer-than-average conditions influenced by persistent subtropical high pressure influences. Realistic challenges are minimal—only a rare post hoc data audit revealing a higher reading at a remote station could alter resolution, though HKO's quality controls make this improbable.

The resolution source for this market will be information from the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Absolute Daily Max (deg. C)" the specified date once information is finalized in the relevant "Daily Extract", available here: https://www.weather.gov.hk/en/cis/climat.htm
This market can not resolve to "Yes" until data for this date has been finalized.
The resolution source for this market measures temperatures in Celsius to one decimal place (eg, 9.1°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is finalized for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.
