Market context
Tokyo's highest temperature on 14 July 2026 will be measured at Haneda Airport Station and resolved against historical weather data from Wunderground. Mid-July sits within Tokyo's peak summer season, when daytime highs typically range between 32–35°C, though extreme heat events can push readings several degrees higher. The settlement window closes at midday on the day itself, meaning only temperatures recorded up to that point will count towards resolution.
Historical July records for Tokyo show considerable year-to-year variation. The Japan Meteorological Agency's long-term data indicates that temperatures exceeding 37°C occur roughly once every five to seven years during mid-summer, whilst readings above 39°C remain relatively rare events concentrated in specific heat-wave years. Haneda Airport's coastal location moderates extremes slightly compared to central Tokyo, typically recording temperatures 1–2°C cooler than inland stations during peak heat days. Comparable dates from recent years—such as mid-July 2023 and 2024—recorded highs between 33–36°C, providing a baseline for assessing probability distributions across the available temperature bands.
The primary variable affecting 14 July 2026's temperature will be whether a Pacific high-pressure system dominates the region or whether monsoon moisture and cloud cover prevail. Japan's Meteorological Agency issues extended forecasts approximately two weeks before the date, with meaningful updates arriving in early July. Any early-season heat-wave patterns developing in late June could shift expectations upward, whilst tropical storm activity in the Western Pacific during early July might suppress temperatures through increased cloud cover and precipitation.

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.
- 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.
- 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.
- What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?
- Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
- 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.
