The market resolves at Jun 3, 2026. Resolution is determined by the official recorded high temperature in Cape Town on June 3. The outcome is typically sourced from a recognized meteorological authority or weather station serving the Cape Town area. Once the event date passes and the final temperature is confirmed, the market settles to the outcome contract matching the actual high, and all other contracts expire worthless. Traders holding the correct outcome receive their payout based on the price at which they held their shares.

Major weather pattern shifts, including changes to high-pressure systems or cold fronts affecting southern Africa, can significantly move odds. Updated seasonal forecasts from meteorological services and ensemble weather models will influence trader positioning. Ocean temperature anomalies and the Southern Oscillation Index may signal warmer or cooler conditions for early June. As the event date approaches, short-range forecasts become more reliable and typically trigger sharp repricing. Real-time weather alerts, atmospheric pressure trends, and any unusual climate events in the weeks before June 3 will drive trading activity and odds adjustments.
