Pronóstico: Highest temperature in Wellington on July 28?

Platform comparison

Market context

Wellington’s highest temperature on 28 July will be determined by the reading at Wellington International Airport, with the market settling on the day’s top Celsius figure from Wunderground. For late July, the baseline is firmly winter-like: Wellington’s July highs are typically around 12°C, with frequent rain and breezy conditions, so the distribution is normally clustered in the low teens rather than anything materially warmer.[3]

That context helps explain why the market’s **0% YES** crowd-implied probability is not obviously inconsistent with historical norms if the relevant “YES” band is set well above the usual range. July in New Zealand has produced plenty of cold outcomes, and NIWA’s July 2025 climate summary still showed the month’s nationwide maximum only reaching 22.7°C, illustrating that warm spikes can happen but are unusual and location-specific rather than the default.[1] For Wellington itself, a reading in the 10–13°C zone would sit close to the seasonal centre of gravity rather than an outlier.[3]

Traders should watch the airport forecast for any unusual northerly flow, the timing of fronts crossing Cook Strait, and whether cloud cover or rain suppresses the daytime high before the 12:00 UTC settlement window. The key dependency is the official Wunderground station record for Wellington Intl Airport on 28 July, so late model changes, wind shifts, or a brief sunshine break around midday are the only realistic catalysts for a move away from the colder part of the range.[2][3]

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.

When do sports markets resolve?

Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.

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?

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.
