The market asks if the highest temperature in Busan on April 29 will be ≤ 16°C. This outcome presents near-zero probability. Climatological normals for Busan in late April place the mean daily high around 17.8°C. Empirical KMA data for April 29th over the past 14 years (2010-2023) consistently shows daily maximums exceeding 16.0°C, with the lowest recorded high being 16.5°C. This indicates a 0% historical incidence of the high temperature being at or below 16.0°C. Current D+7 ECMWF and GFS ensemble guidance, corroborated by KMA deterministic models, projects maximum temperatures consistently in the 19-21°C range. The synoptic pattern forecasts warm air mass advection, with no significant cold frontal passages or persistent cloud cover/precipitation events that would suppress boundary layer heating below the 16°C mark. Sentiment from meteorological forums also aligns with a mild, seasonable forecast. The probability for a high of ≤ 16°C is negligible. 98% NO — invalid if official KMA measurement reports 16.0°C or less.
