Ensemble forecasts from the South African Weather Service and global models point to a maximum of 16–18°C in Cape Town today, driven by a weak cold front advancing southward that has boosted cloud cover and tempered northerly winds following yesterday’s 23°C peak. These conditions limit daytime heating by reducing incoming solar radiation while moderating adiabatic warming from berg winds. Trader sentiment clusters tightly around 15–17°C because small differences in frontal timing, cloud thickness, or localized sea-breeze effects—common in Cape Town’s varied topography—can shift the daily high by 1–2°C. Historical August averages near 17–18°C provide context, yet model spread in winter frontal passages keeps lower outcomes like 15°C in play until final observations confirm the peak.

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 Cape Town International Airport Station in degrees Celsius on 14 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 Cape Town International Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/za/matroosfontein/FACT.
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.
