توقع: Highest temperature in NYC on August 2?

Platform comparison

Market context

LaGuardia’s afternoon high is the key figure here, and the current 0% yes price only makes sense if traders expect a fairly ordinary summer top rather than a late surge into the upper 80s or 90s. The market is settled on the highest temperature recorded at LaGuardia Airport Station, not the citywide average, so terminal-area winds, cloud cover and sea-breeze timing matter more than general “New York weather” headlines. On comparable hot-season days, the airport can run a shade cooler than the city’s hottest neighbourhoods, but it still tracks synoptic heat well when a ridge holds over the Northeast.[2][9][17]

The relevant comparison is the recent early-July heatwave, when New York reached 100°F in Central Park and the city’s hottest areas briefly ran even hotter than the official park reading.[7][9] That matters because markets like this usually only move sharply when the forecast shifts from low 80s into the upper 80s or above, or when an urban heat episode looks persistent enough to override marine influence. The current price structure elsewhere in the market indicates traders are not assigning much weight to an extreme outcome, with the crowd clustering around the low- to mid-80s rather than a heat-record scenario.[4]

The main catalysts to watch are the late-day forecast updates, especially any change in cloud cover, thunderstorm timing, or wind direction that could either cap the maximum or allow a brief spike around peak heating. Wunderground’s history page is the settlement source, so the market will be driven by whatever actually prints for LaGuardia’s daily high rather than the headline forecast elsewhere.[2] AccuWeather’s August outlook and other short-range models are useful only insofar as they confirm whether New York stays in a modest summer pattern or re-enters the kind of hot, humid setup that pushed the city to 100°F in early July.[1][7]

FAQ

Can I bet on individual matches?

Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

Once the official league outcome is logged in the UMA Oracle (typically 1-2 hours after the final whistle), Polymarket's smart contract triggers USDC payout. To your wallet within minutes.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
