Highest temperature in Chengdu on August 3?

Platform comparison

Market context

Chengdu’s airport temperature on 3 August will hinge on whether the day behaves like a typical early-August heat event or a cooler, rain-disrupted summer day. Seasonal guides put Chengdu in August around the low-30s Celsius at the daily high, with humidity and scattered showers common, so a settlement outcome in the mid-to-high 20s or low 30s is far more consistent with the local climate than a very low reading.[1][3][10][15][17]

The current **0% YES** crowd-implied probability is best read as a market signal about process rather than climate: if there has been no fresh data feeding the book, an airport-based maximum temperature still tends to settle within a familiar summer band, not an extreme outlier. Comparable August forecasts for Chengdu cluster around highs of roughly 30–35°C, with some sources showing 33–35°C for 3 August and long-run averages near 30°C, which suggests the market may be underweighting a normal hot-day outcome if it stays at zero.[3][4][10][13]

For accessibility, the regulatory frame matters as much as the weather. A German participant may face **GlüStV** restrictions because many online betting-style or event-contract products can be treated as gambling-adjacent under German law, while **US CFTC reach** matters because US residents can be constrained by derivatives and event-contract rules even when the market itself is offshore; that is a legal-risk overlay, not a forecast of settlement. “**No-KYC up to $1,500**” usually means a user can interact with the market up to that threshold without full identity verification, but it does not remove sanctions screening, jurisdiction blocks, or platform compliance controls, so accessibility can still be limited by country and payment rails.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?
