Highest temperature in Wellington on July 28?

Platform comparison

Market context

Wellington's highest temperature on 28 July 2026 will be measured at the international airport weather station and resolved against historical records from Wunderground. July sits within Wellington's winter season in the Southern Hemisphere, when daytime highs typically range between 10–13°C, though the city's exposed location and variable weather patterns mean daily variation remains substantial.

Historical data from Wellington Airport shows July temperatures rarely exceed 15°C on the daily maximum, with readings above 16°C occurring in fewer than 5% of cases across the past two decades. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders are pricing in an expectation that the highest temperature will fall below the lowest threshold offered in the market's resolution brackets. This reflects baseline winter conditions rather than any forecast anomaly; Wellington's July weather is reliably cool, and sustained warm spells during the southern winter are meteorologically uncommon.

The settlement window closes at midday on 28 July 2026, meaning the final temperature reading will capture morning conditions and any early-afternoon warming. Traders should monitor the MetService New Zealand forecast in the week leading up to the date, particularly any unusual high-pressure systems or föhn wind events that occasionally push Wellington temperatures above seasonal norms. The airport station's exposure on the city's eastern edge makes it sensitive to wind direction shifts, which can produce sharp temperature swings within hours.

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.

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.

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.
