We provide a consistent two—factor model for pricing temperature derivatives that incorporates the forward looking information available in the market.
The model specifies the dynamics of the complete meteorological forecast curve reasonably well.
We analyze the model's performance in an application using real temperature forecast data and temperature futures derivative prices.
The model confirms that parts of the irregularity of the market price of risk is due to information misspecification.
Similar to temperature derivatives, this approach can be used for pricing other non—tradable assets.
