Highest temperature in Seoul on July 14?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 14 July 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Incheon International Airport Station will determine which range this market resolves to. Seoul's mid-summer climate typically produces daily highs between 28–32°C, though heat waves can push readings above 35°C. The resolution source is Wunderground's historical weather database for the specific station, with settlement occurring at 12:00 UTC on the day itself.

Seoul has experienced measurable year-on-year temperature variation in July. The city recorded 34.3°C on 14 July 2023 and 33.1°C on 14 July 2024, illustrating the volatility within a narrow window. Comparable markets on extreme heat days in East Asia show that crowd probability skews toward moderate ranges when long-range forecasts remain uncertain. The current 0% YES reading suggests traders are pricing in either a specific temperature threshold that appears unlikely or awaiting clearer meteorological signals before committing capital.

The Korea Meteorological Administration publishes 10-day forecasts approximately one week before settlement, with updates every 48 hours thereafter. Late June and early July 2026 weather patterns—particularly the strength of the Pacific high-pressure system and any tropical cyclone activity—will shape expectations. Traders should monitor whether an upper-atmosphere ridge develops over the Korean peninsula, a pattern that historically correlates with sustained heat. The settlement window closes at midday UTC, creating a hard deadline for resolution once Wunderground records the final observation.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?
