Market context

On 12 May 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Wuhan Tianhe International Airport Station will fall within one of several defined ranges in Celsius. The market settles based on historical weather data from Wunderground, capturing the daily maximum temperature for that specific location and date. Currently, the order book shows 0% implied probability across all temperature ranges, indicating either minimal trading activity or a technical state where no position has yet attracted sufficient liquidity to establish a meaningful price.

Wuhan's May climate sits at the threshold between spring and early summer, with historical highs typically ranging between 28°C and 35°C during this period. Reviewing past May temperatures at the airport station provides the baseline for assessing which ranges carry genuine probability mass. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders have not yet committed capital to any outcome, making this an early-stage market where initial positions will substantially shape perceived likelihood. Seasonal patterns and long-term climate data from the China Meteorological Administration offer reference points for evaluating realistic temperature distributions.

The primary catalyst remains the actual weather system affecting central China in May 2026. Traders monitoring spring weather forecasts from late April onwards will gain directional signals; anomalous heat waves or cooler-than-average patterns would shift probability towards extreme ranges. No scheduled announcements or policy changes directly influence this outcome—resolution depends entirely on meteorological conditions and accurate data reporting from Wunderground's historical records on the settlement date.

Resolution source

This market settles from the official outcome published at https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/cn/wuhan/ZHHH. A proposer submits the final result to the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon; the two-hour dispute window closes and payouts clear in USDC.

How to trade this market step by step

The mechanics for trading "Highest temperature in Wuhan on May 12?" are the same as any other PolyGram event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.

  1. Sign in on polygram.ink with your email — no full KYC under $1,500 lifetime trading volume.
  2. Deposit USDC on Polygon (lowest fees, ~$0.01 per transaction) or Ethereum. Funds credit after 12 confirmations.
  3. Pick a side. Buy YES if you believe the event will happen; buy NO if you think it won't. The current YES price reflects the market's collective probability.
  4. Size your position. If you stake 100 USDC at 50% YES, you'll receive shares that pay $200 if YES resolves true — a 100% gross return. If NO resolves, your shares are worth $0.
  5. Set risk controls (optional). Stop-loss, take-profit, and limit-order types all supported. Use the trade ticket's slippage box to cap your maximum entry price.
  6. Wait for resolution. When the event resolves on-chain via the UMA optimistic oracle, the winning side settles to 100¢ automatically and USDC hits your balance within seconds. Withdrawable to any wallet you control.

How active is this market?

$20K in lifetime turnover and $12K of resting liquidity puts this market in the around the median by volume for weather contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.

Last 24 hours alone saw $17K in turnover, well above the lifetime daily-average for this market — a clear sign of news catalysing trader activity right now.

The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.

Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.

Key terms

YES / NO share
A binary outcome token that pays $1.00 if the underlying claim resolves true (YES) or false (NO), and $0 otherwise. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.
CLOB
Central limit order book. The matching engine that pairs YES buyers with NO buyers (effectively the same trade). Polymarket's CLOB on Polygon executes trades on-chain via the conditional-tokens framework.
Liquidity
USDC capital sitting in resting limit orders inside the order book. Deeper liquidity means smaller slippage on large trades and a tighter bid-ask spread.
UMA optimistic oracle
The on-chain dispute system that settles each Polymarket market. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution.
Slippage
The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.
Conditional token
ERC-1155 outcome share issued by Gnosis Conditional Tokens on Polygon. The token type that resolves to $1.00 or $0.00 at settlement.

Risk and regulatory note

Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.

Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
