Market context
On 30 June 2026, the real-world event determining this market is the highest temperature recorded at San Francisco International Airport, measured in degrees Fahrenheit. In prediction markets, a YES share pays out if the temperature falls within a specific range the trader selected, while a NO share pays out if it falls outside that range. This market currently shows a 0% probability for YES, implying the crowd believes the temperature will not reach the highest bin offered, likely because historical data and forecasts suggest a more moderate peak.
Historical patterns frame how to interpret this low probability. June at KSFO typically sees highs rising from 68°F to 71°F, rarely exceeding 80°F, with cloud cover decreasing rapidly as solar energy increases [2]. Recent data confirms this trend; the airport recorded its coldest first half of summer since 1965, with an average maximum of just 67.6°F through mid-July [7]. Current National Weather Service guidance points to a high near 66–69°F for this specific date, aligning with the market’s tight clustering on lower bins [1].
Traders should monitor daily meteorological updates and any sudden shifts in ensemble models, as these are the primary catalysts for temperature deviations. The settlement relies on Wunderground data, which updates continuously, so real-time observations like the current 66°F reading at 2 PM EDT are critical [5]. While no specific weather announcements are scheduled for today, the rapid decrease in overcast skies and the gradual rise in shortwave solar energy during June mean that clear, sunny intervals could push temperatures slightly higher, though likely not enough to breach the highest range [2].
