Official observations from Qingdao's meteorological stations, corroborated by China Meteorological Administration data, recorded a high temperature of around 22°C on April 27 under partly cloudy skies with light southerly winds, aligning with seasonal spring warming patterns where April daily highs typically range 15–18°C based on 30-year climatological averages. Midday readings exceeded 21°C by early afternoon, per real-time reports from monitoring networks, solidifying trader consensus at 100% implied probability for 14°C or higher as the market nears resolution. Any challenge would require an improbable revision from preliminary to final official measurements, such as equipment recalibration revealing a lower peak, though current data shows no such discrepancies. Updated station archives expected within 24 hours.
