Highest temperature in Beijing on July 14?

Platform comparison

Market context

Beijing's daily maximum temperature on 14 July 2026 will be recorded at the Capital International Airport meteorological station and resolved against historical data via Wunderground. July typically sees peak summer heat in Beijing, with daily highs regularly exceeding 30°C. The 0% crowd probability suggests either extreme confidence in a specific temperature band or insufficient liquidity across the full range of possible outcomes.

Historical July temperatures at Beijing Capital Airport provide the calibration framework. Over the past two decades, mid-July highs have ranged from 28°C to 37°C, with a median around 33–34°C. The 2010 heatwave pushed readings above 40°C, though such extremes remain statistical outliers. Traders automating queries against Wunderground's historical endpoint can establish baseline distributions by pulling five to ten years of 14 July records, then weight recent years more heavily if building conditional orders around seasonal climate shifts.

The primary catalyst affecting July 2026 temperatures will be monsoon activity and any anomalous pressure systems tracking into northern China during early-to-mid summer. The China Meteorological Administration publishes monthly seasonal forecasts; their June 2026 outlook will signal whether conditions favour above or below-normal heat. Traders using bot-based market monitoring should set alerts on CMA releases and cross-reference them against Wunderground's real-time station data feed, which updates hourly. Settlement occurs at 12:00 UTC on 14 July, giving a narrow window for final data confirmation before resolution.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
