Korea Meteorological Administration (KMA) observational data from Seoul's official monitoring station confirms the highest temperature on May 5, 2026, peaked at exactly 18°C, driving trader consensus to a 100% implied probability for this outcome as the market nears resolution. Preceding short-term KMA forecasts and global models like ECMWF projected mild daytime highs around 18-19°C amid a cool air mass, northerly winds, and partial cloud cover that suppressed solar heating on this Children's Day. Typical early-May highs in Seoul average 20-22°C, but current atmospheric conditions aligned with the cooler outcome. Scenarios challenging this include rare KMA data revisions from equipment recalibration or overlooked hourly observations exceeding 18°C, though official records carry authoritative weight.
