This event tracks daily temperature patterns in San Antonio during a specific week, focusing on prolonged periods of high heat. It examines whether the city experiences consecutive days where temperatures remain consistently above a set threshold. The outcome depends on recorded weather data across the entire week.
The event evaluates whether San Antonio experiences consecutive days with average temperatures strictly above 90°F during the week of August 24–30, 2026, based on data from KSAT. Each market requires a different minimum number of consecutive qualifying days (from 2 to 6 days) within this period. A qualifying day is defined as having an average temperature—calculated as the mean of hourly temperatures from 12:00 AM to 11:59 PM local time, rounded to the nearest whole degree—strictly greater than 90°F, with at least 18 hourly temperature readings reported. If a day fails to meet these data completeness requirements or records an average of exactly 90°F, it breaks any ongoing streak. All determinations are made using data published at the expiration time, with any subsequent revisions disregarded.
On Kalshi, the current odds reflect trader sentiment about the likelihood of prolonged heat in San Antonio. These odds can diverge from analyst forecasts, which may incorporate additional climate models or regional data. Analysts often publish their expectations months in advance, while this market updates in real time as new weather patterns emerge. Comparing both sources offers a blended perspective on potential temperature trends.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, pricing follows a dynamic model where traders buy or sell contracts based on their expectations for consecutive days above 90°F. The top outcome’s probability is displayed as a percentage, adjusting continuously with trading volume and new information. This price reflects the collective guess of participants, balancing bullish and bearish positions until resolution.
This market resolves around Sep 1, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once official temperature data for the specified week is publicly available. Meteorological agencies publish averaged daily temperatures, which are used to verify whether the threshold is met. The process relies on widely accepted, authoritative climate reports to close the market definitively.
Key signals include seasonal weather pattern updates, such as El Niño or La Niña developments, which can influence Texas heat spells. Government heat advisories, extended forecasts from major weather services, and sudden climate shifts may also affect trader sentiment. As these signals emerge, this market’s odds will likely fluctuate, responding to new probabilities for prolonged high temperatures.
