Comparable cases show that extreme heat in Beijing often correlates with prolonged dry spells and high-pressure systems; the 2023 record came during a week of sustained temperatures above 37°C.

The ‘no-KYC up to $1,500’ threshold means users in jurisdictions without mandatory identity checks can access this market without submitting documents, but only if the platform’s licensing aligns with local laws. Traders must verify their jurisdiction’s stance on unregulated prediction markets before participating.
