Highest temperature in Toronto on July 15?

Platform comparison

Market context

The market tracks the peak temperature recorded at Toronto Pearson International Airport on 15 July 2026, with settlement tied to Wunderground’s daily high for that station. Current crowd-implied probability sits at 100% for the YES outcome, suggesting traders view the event as certain, though the specific temperature range remains contested; the frontrunner is 32°C at 38%, followed by 31°C at 29% [1].

Historical July highs in Toronto often cluster between 30°C and 33°C, with 2024 and 2023 both recording peaks near 32°C under similar mid-summer heat domes. The 100% YES probability likely reflects a binary framing where the market resolves to any valid temperature range rather than a single value, making the outcome effectively guaranteed unless the station fails to record data. Comparable weather markets on regulated platforms have resolved similarly when the underlying event is a physical measurement with a clear data source.

Traders should monitor Environment Canada’s mid-July forecast updates and the 10-day surface analysis for the Great Lakes region, as sudden shifts in wind patterns or cloud cover could alter the peak. Wunderground’s daily archive for CYYZ will be the definitive settlement source, and any delay in data publication could extend resolution beyond the 2026-07-15T12:00:00Z window. Recent heatwave coverage in The Globe and Mail highlights how urban heat islands and airport microclimates can push readings above regional averages, reinforcing the likelihood of temperatures in the 31–32°C band.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?
