This market tracks the lowest temperature recorded in Boston on July 10, 2026, using official National Weather Service data from Boston Logan Airport. The outcome will be determined by the minimum temperature reading on that specific date.
Resolution is based on the minimum temperature recorded at Boston Logan Airport on July 10, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily). The temperature is divided into six ranges: 62°F or below, 63-64°F, 65-66°F, 67-68°F, 69-70°F, and 71°F or above. Each range corresponds to a distinct outcome. Official data must be obtained from the NWS Climatological Report via the specified URL, selecting Boston (Logan Airport), MA with Daily Climate Report. While preliminary NWS data and third-party weather sources may provide guidance, the final determination uses only the official NWS Climatological Report (Daily) values. Traders should be aware that preliminary NWS reporting and measurement methods may involve rounding and conversion nuances that could affect the final reading.
Prediction market odds often diverge from traditional weather forecasts because they incorporate real-time trader behavior, uncertainty premiums, and forward-looking sentiment. While meteorologists issue deterministic forecasts based on atmospheric models, this market reflects probabilistic views from participants who have financial incentive to be accurate. Analysts may issue point estimates, whereas traders here price in the full range of plausible outcomes. Over time, markets tend to aggregate dispersed information more efficiently than single-source forecasts, though both approaches have distinct strengths for different planning horizons.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order-book mechanism where traders submit bids and asks for shares in each temperature outcome. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Share prices range from $0 to $1, with the sum of all outcome prices equaling $1, ensuring internal consistency. Traders profit by buying underpriced outcomes and selling overpriced ones. The platform displays the current mid-price for each bracket, allowing participants to enter or exit positions at transparent, market-determined rates throughout the trading window.
This market resolves around Jul 11, 2026, after July 10, 2026 has passed and the lowest temperature for that day in Boston is confirmed. The outcome is verified against credible public sources reporting official weather data. Once the actual low temperature is recorded and published, the market settles to the corresponding outcome bracket. All shares in the correct outcome pay out at full value, while incorrect positions expire worthless. Resolution typically occurs within hours of the event concluding.
Major weather pattern shifts, seasonal climate anomalies, and updated long-range forecasts from meteorological agencies can significantly move odds in this market. El Niño or La Niña conditions, volcanic activity, or unexpected atmospheric blocking patterns may influence Boston's July temperatures. As the event date approaches, short-range forecasts become more reliable and typically trigger sharp repricing. Traders also respond to historical temperature records, climate trend data, and any unusual atmospheric developments reported in the scientific community. Real-time model updates and consensus shifts among forecasters drive continuous price adjustments.
