This market tracks the lowest temperature recorded in New Orleans on June 28, 2026. The outcome will be determined by the official National Weather Service daily climatological report for New Orleans, which provides the authoritative minimum temperature measurement for that date.
Resolution is based on the minimum temperature recorded at New Orleans, LA on June 28, 2026, as reported in the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily). The official data source is accessed through the NWS Southern Region Climate portal at the New Orleans, LA location. Temperature ranges are divided into six bands: 71°F or below, 72-73°F, 74-75°F, 76-77°F, 78-79°F, and 80°F or above. Each band corresponds to a distinct market outcome. 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. While secondary sources like AccuWeather or Google Weather may provide guidance, only the NWS Climatological Report (Daily) serves as the authoritative source for determining the actual outcome.
Prediction market odds reflect real-money trader consensus and often incorporate meteorological models, historical temperature patterns, and seasonal trends that professional weather analysts also rely on. However, markets and traditional forecasts can diverge: traders may price in tail risks or longer-term climate signals that analysts downweight, while analysts sometimes issue more conservative or detailed confidence intervals. Comparing this market's odds to National Weather Service forecasts or climate reports for that date can reveal where the crowd sees asymmetric opportunities or where expert opinion diverges from market pricing.
On Kalshi, this market is priced through a continuous order-book mechanism where traders buy and sell shares corresponding to 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 represents a claim on a specific outcome, and the market price reflects the marginal probability traders assign to that outcome occurring. As new information emerges—updated weather models, seasonal shifts, or real-time atmospheric data—traders adjust their bids and asks, causing prices to move and odds to recalibrate in real time.
This market resolves around Jun 29, 2026, once the lowest temperature recorded in New Orleans on June 28, 2026 is verified and finalized. The outcome is determined by the actual meteorological reading from that date, confirmed against credible public sources such as National Weather Service data or other authoritative weather records. Once the official low temperature is established and matches a defined outcome bracket or threshold, the market settles and traders' positions are paid out accordingly.
Major weather pattern shifts, seasonal climate anomalies, and updated long-range forecasts can significantly move this market. El Niño or La Niña conditions, atmospheric pressure systems, and historical temperature deviations for late June in New Orleans all influence trader positioning. Additionally, broader climate trends, unexpected cold fronts, or heat dome formations weeks before the event can trigger repricing. Real-time forecast updates from meteorological models and any unusual seasonal weather events in the Gulf region will likely drive volatility and reshape market odds as June 28, 2026 approaches.
