This event tracks the intensity of Hurricane Marie based on its maximum sustained wind speeds. The outcome depends on whether the storm reaches certain wind speed thresholds, which classify it into different hurricane categories. The event is monitored until December 1, 2026, with a specific expiration time after the event occurs.
The event evaluates whether Hurricane Marie achieves specific intensity levels defined by maximum sustained wind speeds corresponding to different hurricane categories. Each category has a distinct wind speed threshold: Category 1 or above requires winds of at least 74 mph, Category 2 or above requires at least 96 mph, Category 3 or above requires at least 111 mph, Category 4 or above requires at least 130 mph, and Category 5 or above requires at least 157 mph. If the hurricane reaches or exceeds any of these thresholds before December 1, 2026, the relevant market resolves to Yes. Regardless of the category, if the event occurs before the deadline, the market expires at the first 10:00 AM ET following the occurrence of the event. The rules collectively provide a tiered assessment of the hurricane's peak intensity, with each tier building upon the previous one in terms of severity.
Currently, this market reflects trader sentiment that may differ from expert projections. Analysts often weigh factors like sea surface temperatures and atmospheric conditions, while market odds capture crowd-sourced expectations updated continuously. Comparisons can reveal whether the public is more bullish or bearish than institutional forecasts on Hurricane Marie's peak category.
This market resolves around Dec 1, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. The final category of Hurricane Marie will be determined by authoritative meteorological sources at the time the storm reaches its peak intensity or makes landfall, and this verified classification will settle all positions in this market.
Key signals that could shift odds in this market include updates from national weather services on Hurricane Marie's sustained wind speeds, central pressure changes indicating intensification or weakening, and any official advisories about category changes. Models showing a rapid strengthening or weakening, land interaction dampening the storm, or new satellite data revealing eye changes can all cause rapid price swings as traders reassess probabilities.
