April 4, 2026 - April 5, 2026, the price of '24°C' surged from ~31.5c to 99.85c, '25°C' spiked to 51.5c before plummeting to near 0c, and '27°C or higher' rebounded to 54c before quickly crashing to 0c. This was due to actual meteorological observations on the resolution day finalizing the high temperature at 24°C. April 2, 2026 - April 3, 2026, the price of '27°C or higher' plummeted from 32.5c to 5.5c, while '24°C' surged from 19.5c to 31.5c. This was driven by short-range meteorological data confirming that cloud cover and weak precipitation will suppress temperature spikes, effectively ruling out the extreme heat scenario. April 1, 2026 - April 2, 2026, the price of '27°C or higher' dropped sharply from 32.5c to 22.5c, '25°C' fell from 26.5c to 12.5c before rebounding, and '24°C' surged from 11.5c to a peak of 28c. This high volatility was caused by updated meteorological models adjusting the expected high temperature from an anomalous heatwave down to the 23-24°C range, forcing aggressive capital reallocation among the brackets.

The reason is that on the resolution day, actual meteorological observations confirmed the high temperature did not exceed 33°C. April 1, 2026 - April 3, 2026, the price of '33°C or below' surged from 26.5c to 78.5c, while '34°C' fell from 29.5c to 14.5c, and '35°C' plummeted from 27c to 3.5c. The reason is that as the date approaches, weather forecasts confirmed a stronger cooling trend and higher probability of precipitation. April 1, 2026 - April 2, 2026, Prices for '36°C' and higher options generally trended downwards (e.g., 36°C dropped from 16.5c to 13.5c, touching as low as 7.5c), as converging near-term forecasts practically ruled out the likelihood of extreme heat.

April 2, 2026 - April 5, 2026, the price of 20°C surged from 10.5c to 50.5c, and 21°C rose from 10.5c to 35c. Meanwhile, 18°C and 17°C plummeted by nearly 20c each (e.g., 18°C fell from 21c to 1.2c). This was driven by real-time weather forecasts and actual measurements on the resolution day confirming a high of 20-21°C, effectively eliminating the possibility of lower temperatures. April 1, 2026 - April 3, 2026, prices for lower temperature options like 16°C, 17°C, and 18°C saw significant drops of over 10c (e.g., 17°C fell from 21.5c to 5.5c, 18°C dropped from 25.5c to 11c), while the 20°C and 21°C options increased by more than 10c. This was driven by weather forecasts further confirming a strong warming trend, pushing market expectations up to the 19-21°C range.
