Polymarket
This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the lowest temperature recorded by the Hong Kong Observatory in degrees Celsius on 5 Jun '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from the Hong Kong Observatory, specifically the "Absolute Daily Min (deg. C)" the specified date once information is finalized in the relevant "Daily Extract", available here: https://www.weather.gov.hk/en/cis/climat.htm This market can not resolve until data for this date has been published. The resolution source for this market measures temperatures in Celsius to one decimal place (eg, 9.1°C). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is initially published for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.
Prediction market odds on Polymarket reflect aggregated trader beliefs about Hong Kong's lowest temperature on June 5, often incorporating meteorological forecasts, historical climate patterns, and real-time weather model updates. Analyst forecasts from weather services typically focus on deterministic point estimates or confidence intervals, while prediction markets price uncertainty as a probability. Comparing the two reveals whether traders are pricing in more or less tail risk than official forecasters, and whether market sentiment aligns with or diverges from consensus weather predictions for that date.
The market resolves on Jun 5, 2026, after the lowest temperature in Hong Kong on June 5 has been recorded and verified. Resolution depends on official temperature data from a designated meteorological source, typically Hong Kong's official weather authority. The outcome is determined by comparing the actual lowest temperature recorded on that date against predefined threshold brackets or ranges established in the market contract. Once the data is confirmed, the market settles and winning positions are paid out according to the outcome.
Key signals include updated seasonal weather forecasts, tropical cyclone or monsoon activity affecting Hong Kong, large-scale atmospheric patterns such as high-pressure systems or cold fronts, and real-time meteorological model runs released in the days leading up to June 5. Urban heat island effects, air quality events, or unusual jet-stream positioning could also influence minimum temperatures. As June 5 approaches, traders will react to short-range forecasts and observed weather trends, causing odds to shift. Historical temperature anomalies and climate data for early June in Hong Kong will inform baseline expectations.
