Highest temperature in Sao Paulo on July 23?

Platform comparison

Market context

The underlying event is the **highest temperature recorded at São Paulo–Guarulhos International Airport on 23 July 2026**, measured by the Wunderground history page for SBGR, and the market settles on the Celsius range that contains that daily high. With the crowd-implied probability at **0% YES**, the pricing is effectively saying the market sees no meaningful chance that the day’s maximum lands in the quoted range, which is usually a sign that the selected band is either very unlikely for the season or that liquidity is thin and the quote is not yet informative.

For context, São Paulo’s July climate is typically part of the Southern Hemisphere winter, when airport highs are usually far below tropical summer peaks, so outcomes depend more on short-lived warm spells than on broad seasonal heat. That makes this kind of market more comparable to other single-day airport-temperature contracts than to monthly climate averages: the relevant question is whether an intraday maximum briefly breaks into the target band, not whether the day feels warm in general. In regulatory terms, German GlüStV treatment matters because German-facing access can be constrained where prediction markets are classed as gambling-like products, while US CFTC reach is relevant because event contracts may attract derivatives scrutiny if offered to US persons or intermediated into the US. “No-KYC up to $1,500” means a user may be able to access the market with limited identity checks only below that cumulative threshold, but it does not remove geographic blocking, sanctions screening, or platform compliance controls for this specific weather market.
