Highest temperature in Milan on July 26?

Platform comparison

Market context

Polymarket is pricing this contract at **0% YES**, which means the market is treating a qualifying high temperature at Milan’s Malpensa airport as effectively impossible. Because the market settles on the day’s *highest recorded temperature* from Wunderground’s Malpensa Intl Airport Station, the key question is not the citywide average but whether the airport reaches a temperature that lands in the specified resolution band before the 12:00 UTC settlement cut-off, with USDC locked into conditional tokens on Polygon until resolution.

July in Milan is normally hot enough to make a high in the upper 20s to around 30°C routine, with typical daily highs around 29°C and a substantial share of warm afternoons[1]. That history matters because it shows that a zero-priced contract is not a statement about climatology, but about how the market is weighing the exact station, the intraday timing, and the specific resolution range. For a hands-on Polymarket user, this is the sort of weather market where a fast-mover can be wrong if the airport peak arrives after the settlement window, even if the broader day looks summer-like.

The main catalyst is the actual temperature path at Malpensa through the morning, especially any rapid warming before noon UTC, together with whether cloud cover, breeze, or rainfall suppresses the peak. Traders should watch Wunderground’s daily history page directly, because the market resolves to that station record rather than a general Milan forecast, and the on-chain payoff only reflects the final printed temperature band once the market is settled.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to PolyGram, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
