Highest temperature in Munich on August 14?

Platform comparison

Market context

Munich Airport's daily maximum temperature on 14 August 2026 will be recorded and binned into a range bracket. The settlement hinges on the highest reading captured in Weather Underground's Daily Observations table for that station, not the summary Day High & Low figure—a distinction that matters when automated feeds pull data at different intervals or when station recalibration occurs mid-day. For programmatic traders, this means validating the exact timestamp and source field before position entry, since discrepancies between WU's observation logs and headline figures have historically created settlement disputes on European weather markets.

August temperatures in Munich cluster around 24–28°C on average, though heat waves push readings into the low-to-mid 30s. Historical August peaks at Munich Airport span 34–37°C across the past two decades; the 0% crowd probability suggests the market is pricing for a narrow range, likely sub-26°C or above 35°C depending on bracket design. Comparable markets on German summer days show that crowd estimates tend to underweight the tail risk of late-summer heat spikes, particularly when Atlantic blocking patterns develop in early August.

Traders should monitor European weather model consensus from mid-July onwards, particularly the ECMWF and GFS 500hPa forecasts for ridge positioning over Central Europe. German meteorological bulletins from Deutscher Wetterdienst typically signal heat events 10–14 days in advance. Any shift toward a high-pressure system anchored over the Alps in the second week of August would materially alter the distribution; conversely, Atlantic low-pressure systems would compress the tail. Automated conditional orders tied to model ensemble spread thresholds offer a practical hedge against late-stage forecast revisions.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Kalshi Fees, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

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.
