Recent official forecasts from the Wuhan Meteorological Observatory and supporting models indicate a sharp cooldown on October 15 driven by cold air advection and widespread rain, shifting conditions from prior 27°C-plus highs. Consensus high temperatures cluster near 20–23°C under overcast skies with periods of moderate rain, consistent with the market’s heavy weighting toward 23°C. Model runs show limited upside risk from lingering warmth and downside pressure if heavier precipitation suppresses daytime heating further. Traders are positioning around these near-term guidance updates, which resolve against official daily maximum readings.
