Highest temperature in Wellington on July 13?

Platform comparison

Market context

Wellington’s highest temperature on 13 July 2026 is being priced at a near-certain 13°C, with the market assigning 97% probability to that outcome and only 3% to 14°C [1]. This tight clustering reflects long-term MetService records showing July highs in Wellington typically range between 11–14°C, with a mean near 12°C [1]. The current 0% implied probability for any outcome above 14°C aligns with historical patterns: July is Wellington’s coldest month, with average highs around 14°C (54°F) at the International Airport [3]. Comparable cases from recent years show extreme July highs rarely exceed 16°C, making the market’s heavy weighting on 13°C statistically grounded rather than speculative.

Traders should monitor NIWA’s seasonal climate outlook for May–July 2026, which indicates temperatures are equally likely to be near or below average, with occasional cold snaps possible under persistent high pressure [6]. The forecast confidence for temperatures is medium, and circulation anomalies do not persistently favour warm conditions, reinforcing the low probability of a significant heat spike [6]. Key dependencies include real-time data from Wunderground, the designated resolution source, which will record the highest temperature for Wellington Intl Airport Station at any time on 13 July [1]. Any sudden shift in pressure systems or wind direction—particularly gusty north winds noted in current observations—could act as a catalyst, though current BBC Weather data shows temperatures near 10–15°C with low precipitation chance [4].

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.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

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.
