Kalshi
The minimum overnight temperature in Houston on May 30, 2026, will be recorded according to the National Weather Service's daily climatological report.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, the lowest temperature in Houston on May 30, 2026 is priced as a set of binary or range-based contracts, each representing a specific temperature threshold or band. Traders buy and sell shares at prices between 0 and 100 cents, where the price reflects the implied probability of that outcome occurring. As new information emerges—such as updated seasonal forecasts, atmospheric patterns, or climate anomalies—contract prices adjust to reflect changing market expectations. The most actively traded contracts typically cluster around temperature ranges most likely for late May in Houston, with less probable extremes trading at lower prices.
The market resolves on May 31, 2026, after May 30, 2026 concludes and the actual lowest temperature in Houston for that day is recorded. Resolution is determined by official temperature data, typically sourced from the National Weather Service or established meteorological stations serving the Houston area. The winning contract is the one corresponding to the verified lowest temperature reading for that calendar day. Traders should monitor official weather station reports and any clarifications from Kalshi regarding which specific data source will be used for final settlement to ensure they understand the resolution criteria.
Several factors could shift market odds for Houston's lowest temperature on May 30, 2026. Long-range climate forecasts and seasonal outlooks released by NOAA or other meteorological agencies may indicate warmer or cooler patterns for late May. Major atmospheric phenomena—such as El Niño, La Niña, or unusual jet stream configurations—can influence regional temperatures months in advance. As May 2026 approaches, increasingly accurate 10-day and extended forecasts will provide more precise temperature expectations, likely causing significant price movement. Additionally, any unusual climate events or anomalies in the months leading up to May could alter trader expectations about Houston's late-spring weather patterns.
