**Recent northerly airflow and associated cooling have positioned 26°C as the leading market outcome for Istanbul's highest temperature on August 30, with 27°C and 25°C close behind.** After warmer conditions earlier in the week, a shift to northerly winds introduced cooler, drier air and scattered showers or thunderstorms on August 28–29, dropping daytime maxima to around 25–26°C in many forecasts. This established a baseline that traders appear to be extending into the weekend. Model guidance and official outlooks then show stabilization under partly to mostly sunny skies on August 30, with highs recovering modestly into the mid-to-upper 20s °C range (roughly 27–29°C in several sources) but limited by persistent northerly flow and moderate winds. This keeps 26°C (48%) and 27°C (31%) as the dominant implied probabilities, reflecting consensus around a typical late-August maximum tempered by the recent frontal influence rather than a return to peak summer heat. Lower outcomes like 25°C retain meaningful support (27.5%) amid forecast spread and possible wind enhancement, while probabilities for 28°C or above remain low given the established cooler regime. Resolution will hinge on the precise afternoon peak reported by official stations, with final model runs and observations over the next 48 hours likely to refine these odds.

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=LTFM
If NOAA data for the observation date is unavailable by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table will be used as the resolution source.
To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °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.
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.
