Highest temperature in Seoul (Incheon) on August 6?

Platform comparison

Market context

Seoul’s August heat profile makes the current **0% YES** price look more like a coding artefact than a view on the weather: climatology puts early August among the hottest periods of the year, with the monthly average high around 84–85°F and the highest daily average high on 6 August itself.[1][14] Recent forecasts are much warmer than that baseline, with Seoul near 39°C and Incheon around 38°C under an active heatwave warning, which would normally support a meaningful chance of a high above the lower temperature bands if those conditions verify at the airport station.[2][3]

For traders, the key watchpoints are the afternoon peak and any convective rain or sea-breeze effects that could cap temperatures at Incheon rather than inland Seoul. The KMA has flagged widespread extreme heat, but local cloud, drizzle, or a late-day shower can pull the day’s maximum down quickly, and current short-term guidance shows humid, cloudy conditions with rain risk later in the day.[3][4][13][15] The market resolves on the highest reading at Incheon Intl Airport Station, so the settlement outcome depends on the airport’s actual daily maximum, not the city headline forecast alone.[0]

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.

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.

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.
