Highest temperature in Munich on August 11?

Platform comparison

Market context

Munich Airport's meteorological station will record the highest temperature on 11 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. Current crowd pricing at 0% YES suggests traders expect temperatures to fall outside the upper ranges being tested, though August in Munich typically sees highs between 24–28°C, with occasional peaks above 30°C during heat waves.

Historical August temperatures at Munich Airport show considerable year-to-year variation. The station recorded 37.3°C on 7 August 2015 during an exceptional European heat event, whilst more typical August maxima cluster around 25–27°C. The 0% probability across all resolution bands indicates either extreme scepticism about unusually high readings materialising, or sparse liquidity in a niche weather market. Comparable German weather markets have shown that crowd estimates tend to underweight tail-risk heat events, particularly when settlement windows extend two years forward and baseline expectations favour moderate conditions.

From a regulatory standpoint, this market operates under Germany's GlüStV (Glücksspielstaatsvertrag) framework for prediction markets, which permits certain structured wagering. US CFTC reach extends to US persons trading on offshore platforms, though most European weather derivatives fall outside direct CFTC jurisdiction. Platforms offering no-KYC access up to €1,500 (approximately $1,500) typically allow this market's participation without identity verification below that threshold, though traders should verify their platform's specific compliance posture with German and their home jurisdiction's regulations.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?

Polymarket is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Actual usage via the Polymarket interface is not possible there. The legal status itself varies — many countries treat prediction markets as a gray area. Is Kalshi Legal in California has a different geo footprint.

You're responsible for documenting your trades. Is Kalshi Legal in California exports a full transaction history (CSV/PDF) for tax reporting. In an audit you'll need to present these documents.

Are prediction markets gambling?

Legally unclear in most jurisdictions. Some interpretations classify them as wagering (gambling regulation applies), others as derivatives (financial regulation applies). There's no global precedent specifically for on-chain prediction markets.

Is there a withdrawal cap?
