Highest temperature in Shanghai on June 29?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event this market tracks is the peak heat recorded at Shanghai Pudong International Airport on 29 June 2026, measured in degrees Celsius. Historical data shows June highs at this station typically climb from 77°F to 83°F, rarely dropping below 69°F or exceeding 90°F, with average daily temperatures hovering between 28°C and 30°C during the humid, rainy season [1][4]. The current crowd-implied probability of 0% for a specific high-temperature range suggests traders doubt that day will breach extreme thresholds, yet comparable rainy days in Shanghai often see highs linger around 25–30°C, meaning a "no" outcome is not guaranteed if a sudden heat spike occurs [6].

Traders should monitor the scheduled release of local meteorological updates and any sudden shifts in regional cloud cover or precipitation, as these directly influence peak temperatures. Recent forecasts for 29 June indicate light rain and a gentle breeze with temperatures near 29°C, but a 25% risk of thunderstorms could alter the thermal profile significantly [2][5]. While no specific regulatory announcement is pending, the market’s accessibility hinges on the "no-KYC up to $1,500" threshold, which allows German users under GlüStV rules and US participants under CFTC reach to trade without identity verification, provided they stay within the limit. This structure ensures broad participation while maintaining compliance with cross-border regulatory frameworks.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?

Are prediction markets gambling?

Is there a withdrawal cap?

No platform-side cap. You can withdraw any amount provided KYC is complete. SEPA bank withdrawals over €15,000 trigger additional anti-money-laundering checks (statutory obligation for all platforms).

What if regulation changes?
