Pronóstico: Highest temperature in London on August 15?

Platform comparison

Market context

The market settles on the highest temperature recorded at London City Airport on 15 August 2026, using Weather Underground's Daily Observations table as the primary source. The settlement window closes at midday UTC, meaning afternoon readings could influence the final resolution if they exceed morning peaks.

August temperatures at London City Airport typically range between 19–24°C, with historical highs occasionally reaching 28–30°C during heat waves. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders are pricing in an expectation that the temperature will fall below the lowest available range option on the market. August 2024 saw London peak at 28°C mid-month, whilst the summer of 2022 produced several days exceeding 30°C. The distinction between Weather Underground's Daily Observations and Day High & Low summaries matters operationally; the former captures granular hourly readings and occasionally differs from rounded summary figures, creating potential settlement edge cases.

Traders should monitor long-range forecasting models from mid-July onwards, particularly the UK Met Office's extended outlook and European ensemble predictions. Atlantic weather patterns in early August will signal whether high-pressure systems establish over the British Isles, which typically drives temperatures upward. Any significant heat dome tracking towards northern Europe in the fortnight preceding 15 August would shift probability materially. The specific airport location—positioned in East London with urban heat-island effects—tends to record slightly higher temperatures than central London readings, a factor worth cross-referencing against broader regional forecasts closer to settlement.

FAQ

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.

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.

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.
