This market tracks whether Philadelphia's lowest temperature on May 28, 2026, will fall within the 61-62° Fahrenheit range. On Kalshi, the leading outcome carries a 39.0% probability, with a 61-62° low being the most heavily weighted scenario. The 57-58° range is the second most probable outcome at 24.0%. Resolution will be determined by the National Weather Service's Climatological Report (Daily) for Philadelphia on that date. Watch the National Weather Service's official minimum temperature recording for May 28, 2026, which will settle this market the following day.
Prediction market odds on Kalshi reflect aggregated trader beliefs about Philadelphia's low temperature on May 28, 2026, and often diverge from traditional meteorological forecasts. While weather analysts rely on numerical models and historical patterns, prediction markets incorporate real-time information, trader expertise, and financial incentives. Markets tend to update faster than seasonal forecasts as the event date approaches. Comparing Kalshi odds to National Weather Service or private meteorology firm predictions can reveal whether traders are pricing in more optimistic or pessimistic temperature scenarios than official forecasters expect.
The market resolves on May 29, 2026, after the actual low temperature for Philadelphia on May 28, 2026 is recorded. Resolution depends on verified temperature data from official weather stations serving the Philadelphia area. The outcome is binary: if the minimum temperature falls below 57 degrees Fahrenheit, one contract outcome wins; if it remains at or above 57 degrees, the other prevails. Traders should monitor weather reports and station data as the resolution date approaches to understand how the outcome will be determined.
Several factors could shift odds on this Philadelphia temperature market. Seasonal weather pattern updates, such as shifts in the jet stream or development of high-pressure systems, influence trader expectations. Long-range forecasts from the National Weather Service and European weather models become more reliable as May 28 approaches, driving price adjustments. Anomalous spring weather events or climate oscillations like the North Atlantic Oscillation can alter temperature probabilities. Real-time forecast updates in the days immediately before May 28 typically trigger the largest market moves. Traders should monitor meteorological developments and model consensus to anticipate price changes.
