توقع: Highest temperature in Wellington on August 12?

Platform comparison

Market context

Wellington International Airport will record its highest temperature on 12 August 2026, with settlement determined by the Daily Observations table on Weather Underground rather than summary figures. The market resolves to whichever temperature band contains that peak reading in degrees Celsius during the calendar day at the airport station.

August is Wellington's winter month, with historical daily maxima typically ranging between 12–14°C at the airport. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders expect temperatures to fall below the lowest available range option, though this reflects uncertainty about which specific bands the market offers rather than an assessment that no temperature will be recorded. Wellington's maritime climate produces relatively stable winter conditions; extreme heat is implausible, but mild days above 15°C do occur occasionally even in August, particularly during föhn wind events from the north.

The key dependency is Weather Underground's data availability and the specific resolution bands offered. Traders should verify the exact temperature ranges before committing, as the distinction between Daily Observations and Day High & Low summaries matters for edge cases where intraday readings spike briefly. No weather alerts or unusual atmospheric patterns are currently forecast for early August 2026. The settlement window closes at midday UTC on 12 August, giving roughly 12 hours after the airport's local midnight to confirm the highest recorded temperature.

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.

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.
