Highest temperature in Beijing on July 12?

Platform comparison

Market context

Beijing’s highest temperature on 12 July 2026 will be recorded at the Beijing Capital International Airport Station, with the market resolving to the Celsius range containing that peak. Historical July data shows daily highs typically cluster around 31°C (88°F), rarely dropping below 26°C or exceeding 36°C, while extreme heat events have pushed temperatures to 40°C in recent years [1][2]. The current 0% crowd-implied probability for any YES outcome suggests traders expect the peak to fall outside the offered ranges, yet record-breaking July heatwaves across China in 2023 and 2024 demonstrate that 40°C is not implausible, with the Nanjiao observatory in southern Beijing first recording above 40°C in July 2023 [1][5].

Traders should monitor the intensifying heat dome over the North China Plain, which has driven maximum temperatures to 37°C or higher on early July dates, as this system could persist through mid-July [10]. Key catalysts include daily Wunderground updates for the ZBAA station, which will confirm the peak once the day concludes, and any official heatwave advisories from Chinese meteorological authorities that signal sustained temperatures above 35°C [7][10]. With settlement ending at 12:00 UTC on 12 July, the window captures the full diurnal cycle, making the timing of the heat dome’s peak critical for resolution.

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.

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.

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.
