Highest temperature in Chengdu on August 2?

Platform comparison

Market context

Chengdu’s August heat is usually strong enough that a daily high in the low 30s Celsius is the baseline, not an outlier. Long-run guides put average August highs around 29–31°C, with some sources noting occasional spikes into the mid to upper 30s on the hottest days, so a 0% crowd view implies the market is effectively pricing an outcome well below normal summer conditions.[2][3][6][11]

The historical framing matters because Chengdu’s summer is not just hot but humid and often unsettled, which can blunt extremes without eliminating them. August is widely described as the city’s wettest or one of its wettest months, with frequent showers and heavy rainfall; that makes the airport reading sensitive to the timing of sunbreaks, thunderstorms and any brief heat surge during the daytime peak.[2][4][5][11][14]

For traders, the key catalysts are the day’s convection pattern, cloud cover and whether rain arrives early enough to cap the maximum before mid-afternoon. The market settles on the highest temperature recorded at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport Station on 2 August, so the exact airport history page is decisive rather than a citywide average, and the practical watchpoints are any morning clearing, afternoon thunderstorm build-up and local aviation-station readings rather than broader Chengdu forecasts.[1][2][14]

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.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

Once the official league outcome is logged in the UMA Oracle (typically 1-2 hours after the final whistle), Polymarket's smart contract triggers USDC payout. To your wallet within minutes.

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.
