This market tracks the lowest temperature recorded in Los Angeles on June 18, 2026. The outcome will be determined by the official National Weather Service Climatological Report (Daily) for that date, with temperature ranges divided into distinct bands.
Resolution is based on the minimum temperature recorded at Los Angeles Airport on June 18, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily), accessible via the Los Angeles NWS climate data portal. The minimum temperature is divided into six outcome bands: 55°F or below, 56-57°F, 58-59°F, 60-61°F, 62-63°F, and 64°F or above. Each band corresponds to a distinct market outcome that resolves to Yes when the recorded temperature falls within that range. Official resolution uses only the NWS Climatological Report (Daily) data; preliminary NWS reporting and other weather sources serve as reference only. Traders should be aware that preliminary NWS data may be subject to rounding and conversion nuances that could affect final determination.
Prediction market odds often diverge from traditional meteorological forecasts because they reflect real-money incentives and collective trader judgment rather than single-model outputs. While weather analysts rely on atmospheric models and historical data, this market aggregates the beliefs of many participants trading on their own research and intuition. Over time, prediction markets have proven competitive with or superior to expert forecasts on binary outcomes, though they remain most reliable closer to the event date when information is fresher and uncertainty narrows.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order-book mechanism where traders submit bids and asks for shares tied to specific temperature outcomes. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The price of each outcome reflects supply and demand; as more traders expect a particular temperature range, that outcome's share price rises. You can enter limit or market orders to buy or sell, and the platform matches them in real time, ensuring transparent, fair pricing throughout the trading period.
This market resolves around Jun 19, 2026, after June 18, 2026 has passed and the lowest temperature for that day in Los Angeles is confirmed. The outcome is verified against credible public sources to ensure accuracy and fairness. Once the data is finalized and cross-checked, the market settles and traders' positions are paid out according to which outcome occurred.
Several factors can shift odds in this market: updated seasonal forecasts, El Niño or La Niña patterns, atmospheric pressure systems, and historical temperature anomalies for mid-June in Los Angeles. Major weather events or climate reports released in the months leading up to June 2026 may also influence trader positioning. As the date approaches, short-term weather models become more reliable, typically triggering sharper price moves. Real-time conditions in early June will be the strongest catalyst for final market repricing.
