Highest temperature in Taipei on July 10?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event at the heart of this market is the peak daytime temperature recorded on 10 July 2026 at the Taipei Songshan Airport Station, measured in degrees Celsius. In prediction markets, a YES share represents a wager that the highest temperature will fall within a specific range (for instance, 32°C or above), while a NO share bets it will not. The current crowd-implied probability of 0% YES suggests traders are overwhelmingly confident the temperature will stay below the threshold in question, likely due to expected weather disruptions.

Historical data frames this low probability clearly: July is Taipei’s hottest month, with average highs around 33°C (92°F), yet recent patterns show frequent dips below this mark due to afternoon thunderstorms or frontal systems [1][3]. For example, on 9 July 2026, the highest temperature reached 35°C, but market forecasts for 10 July indicate a frontal system or storm could cap the daily maximum below 33°C [8][10]. This volatility explains why traders are pricing in a high chance of cooler conditions despite the seasonal peak.

Traders should monitor real-time weather updates from Wunderground and the Central Weather Administration for signs of cloud cover, precipitation, or wind shifts that could suppress temperatures [6][7]. A recent forecast from Lines.com notes that a frontal system or afternoon thunderstorm on 10 July is likely to keep Taipei’s maximum below 33°C, concentrating probability in the 30–32°C range [10]. These dependencies mean the outcome hinges on short-term atmospheric changes rather than long-term seasonal averages.

How does resolution work?

What does Polymarket cost to trade?

Polymarket itself charges 0% — the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction. Off-chain venues like Kalshi or Betfair charge 2-7% commission.
