Highest temperature in Istanbul on July 22?

Platform comparison

Market context

Istanbul’s airport has a July climate that normally sits in the high twenties Celsius, with an average daytime high of about 29°C and warm nights around 21°C. July is also typically very sunny there, so the market is really about how far above or below the usual summer peak the day finishes, rather than whether the city can get hot at all.[1]

A **0% YES** price suggests the crowd is not expecting an exceptional spike, which is consistent with the climatology, but that does not tell you much about the actual maximum by the NOAA cut-off. For this market, the key comparison is whether the airport matches a standard warm July day or throws up a brief hotter spell before the final published observation for the next date appears, because the contract cannot settle until that data is in the NOAA table.[1]

The practical catalysts are the airport’s hourly NOAA readings and any late-day change in local wind, cloud cover, or marine influence that could cap or lift the afternoon high. The settlement source is the NOAA time series for Istanbul Airport, and the relevant figure is the highest value in the “Temp” column on 22 July, so traders should watch the live publication cadence rather than general city forecasts alone.[1]

When do sports markets resolve?
