Highest temperature in Qingdao on July 16?

Platform comparison

Market context

The market tracks the peak temperature at Qingdao Jiaodong International Airport Station on 16 July 2026, with settlement based on Wunderground’s daily high. Current crowd-implied probability sits at 0% for any YES outcome, yet the frontrunner is 29°C at 25%, followed closely by 30°C also at 25%, suggesting the market expects a specific range rather than a binary event [1].

Historical July data for Qingdao shows average highs of 29°C (83°F) with lows of 23°C (74°F), and the city experiences 34% daily rain chance alongside high humidity averaging 83%, which typically moderates extreme heat spikes [2]. These comparable conditions frame the 0% probability as a mispricing if traders interpret the market as binary, since 29°C and 30°C collectively represent 50% of implied outcomes, indicating the real-world event is likely to fall within this band rather than outside it entirely.

Traders should monitor Wunderground’s hourly updates on 16 July for the official high, as the resolution source explicitly uses the highest temperature recorded for all times on that day at the specified station [1]. No external announcements or coaching changes apply here, but the settlement window ending at 2026-07-16T12:00:00Z means the final data point must be captured before that cutoff, with humidity and wind speeds averaging 12.0 mph potentially influencing whether temperatures breach 30°C [2].

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.

Can I bet on individual matches?

Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

Which sports markets are available?

Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.

Can I import form data and lineups?

This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
