Highest temperature in Beijing on July 14?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 14 July 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Beijing Capital International Airport Station will fall into one of several defined ranges, measured in degrees Celsius. The settlement will draw from historical weather data published on Wunderground, capturing the peak daily temperature across all recorded times on that date. Beijing's summer climate typically produces highs between 28–35°C in mid-July, though extreme heat events can push readings above 40°C. The current crowd-implied probability of 0% suggests traders perceive either insufficient liquidity or uncertainty about which specific temperature band will resolve as correct.

Historical July temperatures at Beijing's airport station show considerable year-to-year variation. Between 2015 and 2024, mid-July highs ranged from 29°C to 37°C, with 2022 recording notably elevated readings during a broader heatwave event. This variance underscores why temperature prediction markets attract traders seeking to hedge against meteorological outliers. The absence of crowd conviction (0% probability across all ranges) may reflect the market's early stage or genuine disagreement about whether 2026 will experience anomalous conditions.

Traders monitoring this market should track China Meteorological Administration seasonal forecasts and any El Niño or La Niña patterns that influence East Asian summer temperatures. Recent reports from June 2026 onwards will provide critical atmospheric data—particularly upper-level pressure systems and moisture availability—that determine whether Beijing experiences typical or extreme heat. The settlement window closes at 12:00 UTC on 14 July, leaving no post-event trading window; final readings must be confirmed via Wunderground's historical database within hours of market close.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?

What happens during a tax audit?

You're responsible for documenting your trades. Is Polymarket Legal in Canada exports a full transaction history (CSV/PDF) for tax reporting. In an audit you'll need to present these documents.

Is there a withdrawal cap?
