This market tracks the overnight low temperature in Dallas on June 30, 2026, divided into six temperature bands. The outcome will be determined by the official National Weather Service daily climatological report for the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
Resolution is based on the minimum temperature recorded at Dallas on June 30, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily) for Dallas/Fort Worth, TX. The official data source is accessed through the NWS website at the specified URL under the Observed Weather tab. Temperature bands are: 70°F or below, 71-72°F, 73-74°F, 75-76°F, 77-78°F, and 79°F or above. Each band resolves to Yes if the recorded minimum falls within its range. Traders should note that preliminary NWS data may be subject to rounding and conversion nuances, and the final official report should be used for resolution rather than preliminary readings or third-party weather services.
Prediction market odds reflect real-money consensus from traders who profit or lose based on accuracy, creating strong incentives for honest forecasting. This market aggregates dispersed knowledge from participants betting on specific temperature ranges, whereas traditional meteorological forecasts rely on physics-based models and historical data. By Jul 1, 2026, meteorologists typically issue more confident point estimates for a single day six months out, while traders price in uncertainty through a range of outcomes. Comparing the market's implied probability distribution to official weather service guidance can reveal where traders expect model uncertainty or systematic bias.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through an order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares corresponding to different temperature ranges. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each outcome bracket has its own bid-ask spread, and the mid-price reflects the marginal trader's belief about the probability of that range occurring. As new information arrives—seasonal forecasts, climate patterns, or updated models—traders adjust their bids and offers, moving the price. The market price at any moment represents the equilibrium between buyers and sellers, with higher prices indicating greater perceived likelihood of that temperature outcome.
This market resolves around Jul 1, 2026, after June 30, 2026 has passed and the day's lowest temperature in Dallas can be verified. The outcome is determined by comparing actual recorded data against credible public sources to confirm which temperature range occurred. Once the event is verifiable from official reporting, the market settles and traders' positions are finalized based on whether their prediction matched the confirmed result.
Major climate patterns, seasonal forecasts, and long-range weather models will influence trader expectations as June 2026 approaches. El Niño or La Niña conditions, shifts in the jet stream, or anomalies in spring and early summer temperatures could reshape beliefs about summer heat in Dallas. As the date draws closer, medium-range forecasts become more reliable, typically causing sharper price movements in the final weeks. Additionally, any significant climate events or heat waves in the preceding months may shift trader sentiment about whether June 30 will be hotter or cooler than historical norms.
