Recent model consensus from sources like timeanddate and local agencies points to a maximum near 32–34°C in Chengdu on August 6 amid typical late-summer humidity and scattered thunderstorm risk, which explains why traders assign the highest implied probabilities (32–29.5%) to the 32°C and 33°C bins. Afternoon convection and cloud cover from the East Asian monsoon can suppress peaks by 1–2°C below clear-sky potential, while the Sichuan basin’s topography favors heat retention under light winds; historical August averages hover near 30–32°C with occasional spikes above 34°C. The narrow spread between leading outcomes reflects ongoing uncertainty in short-range guidance, with final resolution depending on the 24-hour observational peak reported by official stations.
