This market tracks the lowest temperature recorded in Boston on June 23, 2026. The outcome is determined by the minimum temperature reading from the National Weather Service's official daily climatological report for Boston Logan Airport, which is divided into six temperature bands.
Resolution is based on the minimum temperature recorded at Boston Logan Airport 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 Boston Logan Airport with Daily Climate Report. Temperature bands are: 56°F or below, 57-58°F, 59-60°F, 61-62°F, 63-64°F, and 65°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 often diverge from traditional weather forecasts because they reflect real-money incentives and continuous trader updates rather than a single model snapshot. While meteorologists issue deterministic forecasts based on atmospheric models, this market aggregates the beliefs of many participants betting on actual outcomes. Over time, prediction markets have proven competitive with or superior to expert forecasts on weather events, especially when traders incorporate the latest data. Comparing this market's odds to published seasonal outlooks from NOAA or other agencies can reveal where professional consensus and market participants align or differ.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares corresponding to different temperature ranges or outcomes. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each outcome has its own price, typically expressed as a percentage probability, and you can place limit or market orders to enter or exit positions. The platform matches buyers and sellers in real time, so prices adjust dynamically as new information arrives and trader conviction shifts. Tighter spreads between bid and ask prices indicate higher liquidity and confidence in a particular outcome.
This market resolves around Jun 24, 2026, after June 23, 2026 has passed and the lowest temperature recorded in Boston that day is confirmed. The outcome is verified against credible public sources, such as official weather station data from the National Weather Service or other recognized meteorological records. Once the temperature is established and reported, the market settles automatically based on which outcome bracket or range the actual low falls into, and traders' positions are paid out according to their holdings.
Several factors can shift odds in this market over the coming months. Seasonal climate patterns, El Niño or La Niña conditions, and long-range weather model updates will influence trader expectations. Major weather events or anomalies in the months leading up to June 2026 may prompt reassessment of typical summer temperatures in Boston. Additionally, as June approaches, short-range forecasts become more reliable, often triggering sharp repricing. Real-time atmospheric data, jet stream positioning, and any unusual heat or cold patterns in late spring will likely drive significant trading activity and price movement.
