Highest temperature in Wellington on July 6?

Platform comparison

Market context

Wellington’s July 6 high temperature is expected to hover between 11°C and 13°C, with the crowd-implied 0% YES probability reflecting a tight consensus that the peak will not exceed 13°C. In the last 24–48 hours, multiple numerical weather prediction models and agency guidance have converged on a maximum of 12–13°C, reinforcing the market’s narrow split. This aligns with historical patterns: July is Wellington’s coldest month, with average highs near 12°C (54°F), and long-range outlooks from NIWA suggest temperatures are equally likely to be near or below average, with occasional cold snaps possible under persistent high pressure [1][2][4].

Traders should monitor real-time updates from Wunderground and NIWA’s seasonal outlook, particularly any shifts in southerly flow anomalies or sudden cold snaps that could push temperatures below 11°C. The current forecast confidence for temperatures is medium, with circulation anomalies not strongly favouring warm directions, but uncertainty remains regarding whether regions will observe average or below-average conditions [4]. A recent NIWA report notes that dry conditions may become more noticeable as the season progresses, which could influence cloud cover and daytime heating [4]. With settlement ending 2026-07-06T12:00:00Z, the next critical data point will be the official high recorded by 12:00 UTC, making live Wunderground feeds the primary dependency for resolution [1].
