This set of markets assesses the likelihood of varying levels of rainfall in Austin, Texas, during August 2026. Participants can evaluate different precipitation thresholds to understand potential weather conditions for that month. The outcomes depend on official weather data from Austin Bergstrom International Airport.
These markets resolve based on the total precipitation recorded at Austin Bergstrom International Airport (CLIAUS) during August 2026, as reported by the National Weather Service (NWS) Climatological Report (Daily). Each market has a specific precipitation threshold: if the total rainfall strictly exceeds 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 inches, the corresponding "Yes" outcome resolves. The official data source is the NWS Daily Climate Report, accessible via the provided URL. Traders must use the latest official data and remain cautious about preliminary reports, rounding, and conversion nuances, as these can affect interpretations. All markets share the same data source and methodology, ensuring consistency in resolution.
Currently, this market reflects trader expectations through its implied probability, which can be contrasted with climate analyst forecasts for August 2026. Analysts may predict rain frequency or intensity based on historical trends and climate models. Where available, expert projections often focus on seasonal patterns rather than binary outcomes, offering complementary perspectives to the market’s odds.
On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. On Kalshi, traders determine the price through active buying and selling of contracts. The current implied probability reflects the collective view of all participants. As new weather forecasts or conditions emerge, you can expect the pricing to adjust accordingly. Volume of $22,197 provides insight into market interest and liquidity levels for this outcome.
This market resolves around Sep 2, 2026, with the outcome confirmed once the event is verifiable from credible public reporting. Specifically, meteorological data and official weather service records for August 2026 will determine whether rain occurred in Austin, closing the market based on objective, publicly available evidence.
Several signals could shift this market before resolution: seasonal forecasts from major weather institutions, unexpected climate phenomena such as El Niño or La Niña developments, and early summer precipitation trends in Texas. Each update that alters the perceived likelihood of August rainfall can cause traders to adjust their positions, moving the market odds.
