Historical data indicates that early April in Tokyo sees average daily high temperatures around 15.6°C (60°F), with typical ranges of 11-19°C or 13-18°C. This places 16°C squarely within the common temperature fluctuations for the period.. While recent March weather showed highs up to 20.7°C, the research explicitly states that 'spring variability could dip exactly to 16°C on a cloudy/rainy day.' This acknowledges the potential for a specific day to deviate from a warming trend and hit the target temperature..
Bears say
Narrow target bin: Weather markets resolving to a specific integer degree (e.g., 16°C) inherently have low base rates. If the typical early April range is 11-19°C, the probability of the daily high landing in any single 1-degree bin is roughly 10-15% at best.. Recent warming trend: The research notes that Tokyo reached 20.7°C on March 29. A strong warming trend heading into spring skews the expected temperature distribution higher, making a high of exactly 16°C less likely..
