This market tracks the lowest temperature recorded in Minneapolis on June 27, 2026. The outcome is determined by the minimum temperature reported by the National Weather Service's daily climatological report for that specific date.
Resolution is based on the minimum temperature recorded at Minneapolis on June 27, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily) for the Minneapolis/St Paul, MN location. The official data source is accessed via the NWS Regional Headquarters website under the Observed Weather tab. Temperature readings are categorized into six ranges: 54°F or below, 55-56°F, 57-58°F, 59-60°F, 61-62°F, and 63°F or above, with each range corresponding to a distinct market outcome. Traders should note that preliminary NWS data may be subject to rounding and conversion nuances, and the final official NWS Climatological Report (Daily) serves as the authoritative source for resolution, superseding other weather data sources.
Prediction market odds often diverge from traditional weather analyst forecasts because they aggregate real-time trader behavior and financial incentives alongside meteorological models. While meteorologists issue probabilistic forecasts based on atmospheric science, this market reflects what participants are willing to stake on actual outcomes. Comparing the two reveals whether traders are pricing in more or less uncertainty than official forecasts suggest, and whether consensus leans toward warmer or colder conditions than the seasonal norm for late June in Minneapolis.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through an order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares representing different temperature ranges or outcomes. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. Each share's price reflects the implied probability that the lowest temperature will fall within that range on June 27, 2026. As new weather data, seasonal patterns, or climate signals emerge, traders adjust their bids and asks, moving the market price in real time. The spread between buy and sell prices tightens as the event date approaches and uncertainty narrows.
This market resolves around Jun 28, 2026, once the lowest temperature recorded in Minneapolis on June 27, 2026 is verifiable from credible public sources. The outcome is determined by official meteorological data, typically from the National Weather Service or equivalent authoritative weather stations serving the Minneapolis area. Once the event date passes and the temperature reading is confirmed, the market settles and traders' positions are finalized based on which outcome bracket or range the actual low temperature falls into.
Major weather pattern shifts, seasonal climate anomalies, and updated long-range forecasts can significantly move this market. El Niño or La Niña conditions, Arctic air outbreaks, or unusual jet stream positioning in late June would all influence trader expectations. Additionally, historical temperature records for that date, recent warming or cooling trends in the region, and any extreme weather events in the weeks leading up to June 27 could trigger repricing. As the event date draws closer, short-range forecast updates become the dominant driver of market movement.
