Official forecasts from agencies including the Met Office and timeanddate.com project a daytime maximum of 33–34°C in Kuala Lumpur on August 17, aligning with typical southwest-monsoon conditions that combine intense solar insolation near the equator with afternoon convective thunderstorms that reliably cap temperature extremes. Historical August averages hover near 32–33°C, reinforced by high humidity levels of 70–85% and urban heat-island effects that rarely permit readings above 35°C without suppressed convection. Recent model runs show minimal variability and no strong warming signals, supporting the market's near-certain consensus on 34°C. Upside risks remain if thunderstorm development is delayed or weaker than expected, though no such shift appears in current guidance.

This market will resolve based on the highest temperature recorded in the 'Daily Observations' table on Weather Underground, not the figure displayed in the 'Day High & Low' summary section; in the event of any discrepancy between the two, the Daily Observations table shall be the primary resolution source not the Day High & Low section.
This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the Kuala Lumpur Intl Airport Station in degrees Celsius on 17 Aug '26.
The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day for the Kuala Lumpur Intl Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/my/sepang-district/WMKK.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the gear icon next to the search bar and switch the Temperature setting between °F and °C.
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 Celsius (eg, 9°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market.
