Highest temperature in Seoul (Incheon) on August 7?

Platform comparison

Market context

Incheon Airport’s reading for 7 August is likely to be driven by the same late-summer heat that is affecting the Seoul area, with official-style forecasts pointing to extreme daytime temperatures well above seasonal norms. SBS reported Seoul reaching 39°C and said heatwave warnings had widened across the capital region, while AccuWeather’s August outlook still shows Seoul’s normal highs clustering in the mid-20s Celsius, underlining how unusual any upper-30s outcome would be.[2][1]

That matters for a market now priced at 0% YES: a near-certain miss would require the airport station’s highest observation to stay below the relevant band all day, which is hard to square with the current heat setup. Comparable August weather patterns in Seoul usually feature highs around 29–30°C, but this week’s forecast and live conditions indicate a much hotter regime, with lingering humidity and only limited relief from rain bands.[18][19][14] In other words, the market is not about whether it will be hot, but whether the airport’s daily-maximum observation lands in the specific Celsius interval tied to the contract.

Traders should watch the official hourly evolution at Incheon International Airport rather than city-centre commentary, because early-morning readings can still be overtaken later if the heat peak arrives in the afternoon. The main catalysts are any updated Korea Meteorological Administration guidance, changes to the timing of showers or thunderstorms, and whether the heatwave warning persists into the settlement window; SBS said conditions were expected to ease only slightly after today, with rain and regional instability affecting the broader weekend pattern.[6][2]

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.
