Pronóstico: Highest temperature in Ankara on July 2?

Platform comparison

Market context

The real-world event is the peak daytime temperature recorded at Esenboğa International Airport on 2 July 2026, which will determine the settlement of a prediction market currently assigning zero probability to any outcome below 34°C. Historical data for Ankara in early July shows daily highs consistently clustering between 33°C and 34°C, with the average high for the month sitting at 28.5°C but frequently spiking higher under building high-pressure systems and clear skies[1][2]. The current market frontrunner is 34°C at 99% implied probability, reflecting tight consensus from short-range forecasts that anticipate sustained heat, while the next closest outcome, 29°C or below, holds zero probability[1]. This distribution mirrors recent patterns where July 1 saw a frontrunner of 31°C, suggesting a gradual warming trend into the second day of the month[3].

Traders should monitor immediate weather updates for Ankara, particularly any sudden shifts in cloud cover or wind direction that could disrupt the predicted high-pressure regime. The settlement source is Wunderground’s recorded maximum for Esenboğa, and revisions to temperature data are only accepted until the first datapoint for 3 July is published[1]. Although the 2026 Ankara NATO summit is scheduled for 7–8 July and may influence local infrastructure, it does not directly impact the 2 July weather reading[4]. Current forecasts indicate daily highs ranging from 81°F to 98°F (27°C to 37°C), with overnight lows between 59°F and 69°F (15°C to 21°C), reinforcing the likelihood of temperatures near the 34°C threshold[2]. No recent news sources indicate unexpected cooling events, so the market’s zero probability for lower ranges appears well-founded on current meteorological consensus.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
