Traders assign the highest implied probabilities to a 38–40°C peak in Jeddah on August 19 because long-range and short-term model guidance, consistent with Jeddah’s Red Sea coastal climatology, centers daily maxima in that narrow band during peak summer. High solar insolation under the subtropical ridge, combined with light northerly flow and elevated humidity that limits nocturnal cooling, typically produces afternoon readings of 37–39°C; slight day-to-day differences arise from variations in sea-breeze timing, boundary-layer moisture, and exact station measurement. With only two days until resolution and no major synoptic shift forecast, the closely bunched odds reflect genuine uncertainty in the precise maximum rather than any single outlier event.
