The maximum temperature in Washington DC on June 11, 2026, will be recorded according to the National Weather Service's official climatological report. This event tracks the actual high temperature experienced in the city on that date.
Resolution is based on the maximum temperature recorded at Washington DC on June 11, 2026, according to the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily), accessible via the CLIDCA database at Washington-National. The official NWS data serves as the authoritative source, superseding preliminary reports or alternative weather services. Temperature data is rounded to the nearest degree Fahrenheit. If NWS data is unavailable for the specified date, the most recently published data will be used. Traders should note that preliminary NWS reporting may contain rounding and conversion nuances that differ from final published values.
Prediction market odds on Kalshi represent aggregated trader beliefs about June 11 temperatures in Washington DC, often differing from traditional meteorological forecasts or climate analyst models. While weather services rely on physics-based models and historical data, prediction markets incorporate real-time information, trader expertise, and financial incentives to be accurate. Comparing the market's implied probability to official forecasts from NOAA or other agencies can reveal whether traders expect conditions warmer, cooler, or in line with expert predictions. These differences highlight how markets sometimes price in emerging signals or uncertainty that traditional forecasts may not yet reflect.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, the highest temperature in Washington DC on June 11 is priced as binary or range-based contracts, where each outcome represents a specific temperature threshold or band. Traders buy shares at prices between 0 and 100 cents, with the price reflecting the implied probability of that outcome occurring. As new information emerges—such as seasonal forecasts, atmospheric patterns, or real-time weather data—traders adjust their positions, moving prices up or down. The continuous order book on Kalshi allows you to see bid-ask spreads and execute trades at the current market price for your chosen temperature outcome.
The market resolves on Jun 12, 2026, after the close of trading and once the official highest temperature for June 11, 2026, in Washington DC is recorded. Resolution depends on verified temperature data from an authoritative source, ensuring that the outcome reflects the actual meteorological conditions on that date. Traders holding shares in the correct outcome receive their payout, while incorrect positions expire worthless. The timing allows for data confirmation and any necessary dispute resolution before final settlement occurs.
Several factors could shift market odds for DC's June 11 high temperature. Seasonal climate patterns and long-range forecasts released by NOAA or other meteorological agencies may indicate warmer or cooler conditions ahead. Major weather systems—such as heat domes, cold fronts, or tropical systems—tracked weeks in advance can influence trader expectations. Urban heat island effects, air quality alerts, or unusual atmospheric circulation patterns may also affect pricing. As June 11 approaches, medium-range forecasts become more precise, typically causing sharper price movements. Real-time weather data and any anomalies in spring or early-summer conditions will drive continuous repricing on Kalshi.
