This event tracks whether New Orleans will experience consecutive days of high temperatures during a specific week. It focuses on the number of days in a row where the average temperature exceeds a set threshold, reflecting potential heatwave conditions.
The event evaluates multiple thresholds of consecutive days with average temperatures strictly above 90°F at KMSY in New Orleans from August 24 to August 30, 2026. For any market to resolve as Yes, the specified number of consecutive days (ranging from 2 to 6 days) must all meet the temperature requirement. Each day's average temperature is calculated as the mean of hourly readings from midnight to midnight local time, rounded to the nearest whole degree, using data published by The Weather Company at the expiration time—later revisions are ignored. A day with exactly 90°F does not count, and any day with fewer than 18 hourly reports breaks the streak, preventing it from contributing to any consecutive streak. Only days within the official week contribute to the evaluation, ensuring all markets share the same data source and methodology for consistency.
Between now and resolution, this market could shift based on medium- to long-range weather outlooks issued by national and regional meteorological agencies. Any significant update indicating a higher or lower probability of sustained heat will affect trader sentiment. Additionally, unexpected early-season tropical systems or abrupt changes in atmospheric patterns could dramatically alter expectations. Real-time tracking of temperature anomalies and ensemble model consensus will be key drivers, especially as the August 24 window approaches, potentially leading to volatility in pricing on Kalshi.
