Market context
On 29 June 2026, the real-world event determining this market is the highest temperature recorded at Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport, measured in degrees Celsius. A YES share in this prediction market means you believe the temperature will fall within the specific range offered (in this case, 32°C or higher), while a NO share means you expect it to stay below that threshold. The current crowd-implied probability of 1% for YES suggests traders see a 32°C+ peak as highly unlikely, anchoring their view to historical patterns where June highs in Qingdao typically hover between 24°C and 30°C, with only rare spikes reaching 35°C.
Historical data frames this low probability clearly: June averages in Qingdao sit around 24–28°C, and even peak days seldom exceed 32°C, as confirmed by recent weather records showing daily highs mostly between 79°F and 84°F (26–29°C). Traders should watch for sudden shifts in local weather forecasts or unusual heatwave announcements from Chinese meteorological services, which could temporarily boost temperatures. While no specific recent news source directly predicts a 32°C+ event for this date, the general climate pattern—where the warm season begins 10 June and peaks in August—suggests that late June remains too early for extreme heat, making the 1% YES probability a rational reflection of seasonal norms rather than an outlier.

Resolution & payout
Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.
Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
