This market tracks the highest temperature recorded in Seattle on June 23, 2026. The outcome is determined by the maximum temperature reading from the National Weather Service's official daily climatological report for Seattle-Tacoma, which is divided into six temperature bands.
Resolution is based on the maximum temperature recorded at Seattle-Tacoma on June 23, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily). The official data source is accessed via the NWS website at the specified URL, selecting Seattle-Tacoma, WA with Daily Climate Report. Temperature bands are: 85°F or below, 86-87°F, 88-89°F, 90-91°F, 92-93°F, and 94°F or above. Traders should note that preliminary NWS data may be subject to rounding and conversion nuances, and the final official NWS report takes precedence over other weather sources such as AccuWeather or Google Weather.
Prediction market odds reflect real-money incentives, meaning traders who misjudge the outcome face direct financial loss. This contrasts with traditional analyst forecasts, which often lack such accountability. In this market, traders are essentially betting on what the highest temperature will actually be on that date, so the odds tend to incorporate current climate models, historical patterns, and seasonal expectations. When professional meteorologists and amateur traders converge on similar probabilities, it often signals strong consensus; divergence may highlight uncertainty or emerging data that one group has weighted differently.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through an order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares corresponding to different temperature outcomes. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each outcome has its own contract, and the price of each reflects the collective belief about its likelihood. As traders place bids and asks, the market price adjusts in real time. Higher prices indicate greater confidence in that outcome occurring, while lower prices suggest lower perceived probability. Liquidity and trading volume determine how easily you can enter or exit a position at any given moment.
This market resolves around Jun 24, 2026, after the event has occurred and the highest temperature for June 23, 2026 in Seattle can be verified. The outcome is determined by comparing actual recorded temperatures against the outcome brackets defined in the market. Once credible public reporting confirms the final temperature, the market settles and winning positions are paid out. Traders should monitor official weather data sources as the date approaches to refine their predictions.
Several factors could shift odds significantly. Updated seasonal climate forecasts or shifts in long-range weather models may prompt traders to adjust positions. El Niño or La Niña patterns, atmospheric pressure systems, and historical temperature anomalies for that time of year all influence expectations. As June 2026 draws closer, short-range forecasts become more precise, typically narrowing uncertainty and concentrating trading around the most likely outcome. Major climate events or unexpected atmospheric conditions in the months leading up to the date could also reshape market sentiment and trading volume.
