This event tracks the peak temperature in Boston on June 21, 2026, as recorded by the National Weather Service. The outcome will be determined by the official daily climatological report for Boston Logan Airport, with resolution based on which temperature range the recorded high falls into.
Resolution is determined by the maximum temperature recorded at Boston on June 21, 2026, according to the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily). The official data source is CLIBOS, accessible via the NWS Boston office website under the Observed Weather tab for Boston (Logan Airport), MA with Daily Climate Report selected. Temperature ranges are: 77°F or below; 78-79°F; 80-81°F; 82-83°F; 84-85°F; and 86°F or above. Each range corresponds to a distinct market outcome. Traders should rely exclusively on the NWS Climatological Report (Daily) as the authoritative source, as preliminary NWS data and third-party weather services may contain rounding or conversion differences. The latest available data for the specified date should be used for resolution.
Prediction market odds reflect real-money bets from traders who incorporate meteorological models, historical climate data, and emerging seasonal patterns. Unlike static analyst forecasts, this market updates continuously as new information arrives, making it a dynamic gauge of expected conditions. Traders pricing this market often weigh long-range weather outlooks, climate anomalies, and urban heat effects specific to Boston. The resulting odds tend to aggregate dispersed knowledge more efficiently than a single forecast, though both approaches ultimately depend on the inherent uncertainty of weather prediction months in advance.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares corresponding to different temperature outcomes. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each share pays out based on the verified high temperature on the specified date, creating a direct financial incentive for accurate pricing. The bid-ask spread reflects uncertainty and liquidity; wider spreads typically indicate less consensus or trading activity, while tighter spreads suggest stronger agreement among participants on the likely outcome.
This market resolves around Jun 22, 2026, after June 21, 2026 concludes and the day's peak temperature is recorded. The outcome is confirmed once the highest temperature for that date is verifiable from credible public sources. Traders holding shares aligned with the actual high temperature receive their payout, while misaligned positions expire worthless. The resolution hinges on an objective, observable measurement rather than subjective interpretation, ensuring clarity for all participants.
Major weather pattern shifts detected in seasonal forecasts could significantly move odds, particularly if climate models show an unusual heat dome or cold anomaly developing for late June. Real-time atmospheric data, such as sea-surface temperatures or jet-stream positioning, often triggers repricing as the event date approaches. Historical temperature records for Boston on June 21 may also influence trader expectations. Additionally, any documented climate trend acceleration or sudden shifts in long-range forecasts could prompt substantial position adjustments as traders update their probability estimates.
