Highest temperature in Munich on August 7?

Platform comparison

Market context

Polymarket is pricing this Munich Airport Station temperature contract at **0% YES**, which means the market currently assigns no weight to the event landing in the settlement range for the day’s highest reading. The contract resolves from the highest temperature recorded on 7 August at Munich Airport Station, with settlement tied to Wunderground data, so traders are effectively buying exposure to an intraday maximum rather than the headline daytime forecast.

That 0% read sits against a market set-up that is usually more forgiving than it looks: August in Munich commonly produces daytime highs in the low-to-mid 20s °C, with a long-run average around 22–25°C depending on the source, while occasional warm spells can push towards the upper 20s or low 30s.[4][6][12] Short-term forecasts for 7 August are notably warmer than the monthly norm, with several services showing highs around 24–25°C and one showing a much hotter mid-30s reading, alongside mixed rain signals.[2][3][14] For a daily-max contract, the relevant comparison is not the average high, but whether the station records a late-afternoon spike high enough to clear the market’s target band.

The main catalysts are the final high-resolution forecast updates, any shift in cloud cover, rain timing, or wind, and the fact that Munich Airport’s reading can differ from city-centre forecasts. Current data points to a bright, warm day with a high UV index and little early-day precipitation risk, but some services still flag showers or thunderstorms later on, which could cap the maximum if they arrive early enough.[13][14] On Polymarket, the position is settled in USDC on Polygon through conditional tokens, so the practical watchlist is the airport-specific forecast path and the live Wunderground print, not broader Bavarian weather headlines.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
