Hong Kong has recorded 124.6 mm of rain through August 9, 2026, against a long-term August average of roughly 350–450 mm. The Hong Kong Observatory’s seasonal outlook favors near-normal totals for the August–October period, yet trader odds cluster around 650–700 mm or higher, reflecting expectations of additional monsoon trough activity and tropical cyclone passages. Key differentiators include South China Sea sea-surface temperatures supporting cyclogenesis, steering flow from the subtropical ridge, and model spread on landfall tracks or stalled systems that could deliver 100+ mm events in single days. With two weeks remaining, updated NHC and HKO guidance on any developing disturbances will determine whether totals remain near climatology or shift into the upper bins.

If the reported data falls exactly between two brackets, this market will resolve to the higher bracket.
The resolution source for this market will be the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Total Rainfall (mm)" figure for all days in August 2026 under the "Daily Extract" at the https://www.weather.gov.hk/en/cis/climat.htm link once figures are finalized for the specified range.
If the relevant data is not available by November 7, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, another credible resolution source will be chosen.
The resolution source for this market measures precipitation to 1 decimal place (e.g., 1.5), thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving this market. Any revisions to precipitation recorded after data is finalized for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.
