Highest temperature in Taipei on June 2?

Market context

The market concerns the highest temperature recorded at Taipei Songshan Airport on 2 June 2026. This measurement will be taken from Weather Underground's historical data for that specific station and date, with the settlement window closing at midday UTC on that day.

June temperatures in Taipei typically range between 28–35°C, with the city experiencing the onset of its warm season before the peak summer heat of July and August. Historical data from Songshan Airport shows that daily highs in early June average around 31–32°C, though readings above 35°C occur occasionally during heat waves. The 0% implied probability suggests traders are pricing in an expectation that the highest temperature will fall below the lowest available range option, which warrants scrutiny against climatological norms for this period and location.

Traders should monitor seasonal weather patterns and any anomalous atmospheric conditions developing in late May and early June 2026. Taiwan's meteorological forecasts typically become reliable 10–14 days in advance; significant heat wave warnings from the Central Weather Administration would be the primary catalyst affecting temperature expectations. El Niño or La Niña conditions, if present during this period, could influence regional temperatures. The settlement depends entirely on the automated recording at Songshan Airport, making data availability and station operational status relevant considerations through the resolution window.

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.
