Market context

This market resolves based on the highest temperature recorded at Taipei Songshan Airport on 8 June 2026, measured in degrees Celsius. The settlement window closes at midday UTC on that date, with Wunderground's historical weather data serving as the official resolution source. Traders are effectively wagering on which temperature band—likely ranging across 5°C or 10°C intervals—will contain that day's peak reading.

Taipei's June climate is consistently warm and humid, with historical highs typically falling between 30°C and 35°C during early summer. The city experiences the onset of the southwest monsoon season in June, which can bring cloud cover and occasional rainfall that moderates afternoon temperatures. Examining Wunderground records from previous June 8ths at Songshan Airport provides the most reliable baseline: temperatures have ranged from approximately 28°C to 34°C in recent years, with most readings clustering in the 31–33°C band. This historical pattern suggests the crowd's 0% probability on any single outcome reflects genuine uncertainty rather than dismissal of the event itself.

The primary variable affecting June 8 temperatures will be monsoon activity and cloud development during that specific 24-hour period. Tropical weather systems can shift rapidly, and the presence of low-pressure systems or active convection would suppress daytime highs, whilst clear conditions would favour temperatures at the upper end of the seasonal range. Traders should monitor meteorological forecasts issued in early June 2026, particularly from Taiwan's Central Weather Administration, which typically provides reliable 7–10 day outlooks that would cover this date.

Resolution & payout

For political markets the resolution source is decisive.

With a clearly defined outcome the USDC payout lands within minutes of the final confirmation.
