This event tracks whether New Orleans will experience consecutive days of high temperatures during a specific week in 2026. The focus is on determining if the daily average temperature at KMSY airport remains strictly above 90°F for multiple days in a row. The outcome depends on weather patterns and data accuracy during that period.
The event evaluates whether New Orleans experiences a specified number of consecutive days with daily average temperatures strictly above 90°F between August 31, 2026, and September 6, 2026. Each market corresponds to a different minimum threshold of consecutive days (ranging from 2 to 6 days). A day's average temperature is calculated as the arithmetic mean of hourly temperature readings reported by The Weather Company for KMSY from midnight to midnight local time, rounded to the nearest whole degree. Only days within the specified date range count toward a streak, and a day with exactly 90°F or fewer than 18 hourly reports breaks any streak. Data is locked at the expiration time, with later revisions disregarded, ensuring a consistent benchmark for all outcomes.
Currently, this market reflects trader expectations about New Orleans summer weather patterns, which can diverge from or align with analyst forecasts from meteorological institutions. Analysts often evaluate historical climate data, seasonal trends, and atmospheric conditions to issue their predictions. Comparing these professional outlooks with market odds offers a useful perspective on public sentiment and potential market shifts.
On Kalshi, traders currently set the odds reflecting the likelihood of consecutive days of average temperature above 90°F in New Orleans during the week of August 31, 2026. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The market price adjusts dynamically as new weather forecasts, historical climate data, and real-time temperature reports become available, capturing collective trader sentiment about the probability of such a heat streak occurring.
This market resolves around Sep 8, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once official temperature readings over the specified week are verified against credible public sources. The final count of consecutive days where the average temperature exceeded 90°F will settle the market, closing all positions based on the observed data.
Several signals could shift the odds in this market before Sep 8, 2026. Updated meteorological forecasts from major agencies, abnormal weather patterns like hurricanes or unexpected heat waves, and seasonal climate trends will all influence trader expectations. Additionally, significant anomalies — either extreme heat or cooler-than-anticipated temperatures — could cause rapid price movements as participants reassess the probability of achieving the required streak.
