Kalshi
This market tracks whether Boston's maximum temperature will fall below 68 degrees Fahrenheit on May 29, 2026. On Kalshi, the leading outcome carries a 53.0% probability, while a temperature range of 68–69 degrees holds 27.0% probability. Resolution will be determined by the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily) for Boston on that date. Watch the National Weather Service's official temperature recording for May 29, 2026, which will serve as the definitive settlement source.
Prediction market odds on Kalshi reflect aggregated trader expectations and often diverge from traditional weather forecasts issued by meteorologists and services like the National Weather Service. While analysts rely on atmospheric models and historical climate data, prediction markets incorporate real-time information and trader conviction. Comparing market-implied probabilities to seasonal normals and long-range weather outlooks can reveal whether traders expect May 29, 2026 to be warmer, cooler, or in line with typical late-May conditions in Boston.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, the highest temperature in Boston on May 29, 2026 is priced as a set of binary or range-based contracts, each representing a specific temperature threshold or band. Traders buy or sell shares reflecting their belief about whether the actual high will fall within that range. Prices move between 0 and 100 cents per share based on supply and demand, with each contract settling to 100 cents if the outcome occurs or zero if it does not. The current market price directly indicates the implied probability traders assign to each temperature outcome.
The market resolves on May 30, 2026, after the highest temperature for May 29, 2026 in Boston has been recorded and verified. Resolution is determined by official temperature data from a designated weather station or meteorological authority serving the Boston area. The outcome is objective and based on the actual observed high temperature on that specific date, ensuring all contracts settle fairly according to the real-world measurement.
Several factors may shift market odds before resolution. Updated long-range weather forecasts and seasonal climate outlooks can signal whether May 2026 is expected to be warmer or cooler than normal. Major atmospheric patterns, such as the development of heat domes, cold fronts, or tropical systems, will influence trader expectations as the date approaches. Historical analogues and El Niño or La Niña conditions may also inform positioning. As May 29 draws closer, short-range forecasts will become increasingly accurate, causing prices to converge toward the meteorologically expected outcome.
