This event group asks what the highest temperature will be in New York City on June 27, 2026. Kalshi's market references June 26, 2026 data from Central Park, while Polymarket references June 27, 2026 data from LaGuardia Airport. The two platforms use different dates, locations, and temperature measurement sources, creating fundamental resolution misalignment.
This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the LaGuardia Airport 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 LaGuardia Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-city/KLGA. 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 Central Park, New York on June 26, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily). The temperature is categorized into six bands: 80°F or below, 81–82°F, 83–84°F, 85–86°F, 87–88°F, and 89°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 naturally creates pricing gaps. Kalshi's regulatory framework and contract design may appeal to risk-averse participants, while Polymarket's broader outcome granularity can draw sophisticated bettors seeking precise temperature bands. Time-zone differences in when traders are active, plus varying order-book depth, mean the same underlying event can trade at different implied probabilities across venues until arbitrage pressure narrows the spread.
Major weather model updates, tropical system development, or sudden jet-stream shifts can trigger sharp repricing as traders reassess tail-risk scenarios. Heat domes, cold fronts, or unusual atmospheric blocking patterns in the days leading up to June 27 will shift odds materially. Real-time satellite imagery, upper-air forecasts, and even social media discussion of extreme weather can accelerate trading volume and volatility, especially if competing models diverge on whether the high will breach key thresholds like 85 or 90 degrees.
