Forecast models from the China Meteorological Administration show Wuhan under the influence of a subtropical high-pressure ridge, with daytime highs expected near 30–32°C on July 19 amid moderate humidity and light southerly flow. Ensemble runs indicate limited day-to-day variability due to stable steering patterns, though small shifts in cloud cover or wind could tip the peak by 1–2°C. Historical July averages for the city hover around 32°C, providing context for why traders assign the highest probabilities to 30–32°C outcomes while discounting extremes above 34°C. Updated model guidance and official observations through July 18 will refine these estimates ahead of market resolution.
