This event group asks what the highest temperature in Denver will be on June 27, 2026. Kalshi and Polymarket both reference this date but use different data sources, weather stations, and resolution methodologies, creating significant ambiguity about which measurement will be official.
This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the Buckley Space Force Base Station in degrees Fahrenheit on 27 Jun '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day for the Buckley Space Force Base Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/co/aurora/KBKF. To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the gear icon next to the search bar and switch the Temperature setting between °F and °C. This market can not resolve until the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source. The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Fahrenheit (eg, 21°F). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. Revisions to temperatures recorded within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following date has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered.
Resolution is determined by the highest temperature recorded in Denver, Colorado on June 26, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily). The temperature is categorized into six bands: 82°F or below, 83–84°F, 85–86°F, 87–88°F, 89–90°F, and 91°F or above. Each band resolves to its corresponding outcome. The NWS Climatological Report (Daily) is the sole authoritative source; preliminary NWS data and alternative weather services such as AccuWeather or Google Weather may differ due to rounding and measurement methodology variations and should not be used as final reference. Traders should exercise caution when interpreting preliminary NWS reporting.
Polymarket and Kalshi can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. Each platform attracts different trader demographics, liquidity pools, and fee structures, which can push odds apart even on the same underlying event. Kalshi's regulatory framework and user base may weight certain temperature ranges differently than Polymarket's audience. Timing lags in order-book updates, regional trader preferences, and platform-specific incentives can also widen spreads. Additionally, the exact outcome definitions differ slightly between venues—one may ask about temperatures above 90°F while another focuses on the 94–95°F band—creating natural price separation. Arbitrage traders work to close these gaps, but temporary divergences persist and offer opportunities for informed participants.
Updated weather forecasts from the National Weather Service or other meteorological agencies will shift odds as confidence intervals tighten or shift. Major weather systems—fronts, high-pressure domes, or unexpected atmospheric patterns—can trigger sharp repricing. Historical temperature records for late June in Denver also anchor trader expectations; unusually warm or cool years shift baseline assumptions. Social media and news coverage of heat waves or cold snaps can influence retail trader participation and volatility. As June 27 approaches, intraday weather updates and real-time atmospheric data will drive final price discovery, with the largest moves likely in the 24 hours before resolution.
