Polymarket
This market tracks whether Hong Kong's highest temperature on May 30, 2026 will fall within specific ranges, with resolution based on official data from the Hong Kong Observatory. On Polymarket, the leading outcome—a high of 31°C—stands at 37.5%, while a high of 30°C carries 25.5% probability. The Hong Kong Observatory's published daily maximum temperature, measured to one decimal place, will determine the outcome once finalized in their Daily Extract. Watch for the Observatory's official temperature release for May 30, 2026, which will settle this market.
The market resolves on May 30, 2026, after the highest temperature recorded in Hong Kong on May 30 is officially reported. Resolution depends on verified meteorological data from the Hong Kong Observatory, which maintains the authoritative temperature record for the territory. The specific outcome will be determined by comparing the recorded high temperature against the threshold defined in the market's outcome criteria. Traders should monitor official weather station reports as the event date approaches to assess the likelihood of different temperature ranges.
Several factors could shift market odds before May 30. Updated seasonal climate forecasts from meteorological agencies may indicate stronger or weaker heat patterns for late May in Hong Kong. Tropical cyclone activity or monsoon onset timing could dramatically alter temperature expectations. Historical weather patterns and sea surface temperature anomalies in the South China Sea influence regional heat. As May approaches, short-range numerical weather models become more reliable, typically narrowing uncertainty and triggering repricing. Real-time atmospheric conditions—including upper-level ridging, humidity levels, and wind patterns—will be reflected in trader positioning as the event date nears.
