Traders' near-even split between 32°C (38.5%) and 33°C (37.5%) reflects National Environment Agency (NEA) fortnightly outlooks forecasting above-average temperatures around 32–33°C for early May 2026 amid inter-monsoon conditions with light winds and occasional thundery showers. These showers often cap afternoon peaks at 32°C through increased cloud cover and cooling rain, while brief clearer intervals—boosted by urban heat island effects and warm sea surface temperatures—could push maxima to 33°C. ENSO-neutral status provides minimal influence, heightening uncertainty from variable convection timing. Lower odds for 34°C+ stem from historical May patterns rarely exceeding this without prolonged sunshine. Watch NEA's daily updates for refined short-range guidance.
