Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded by NOAA at the Istanbul Airport in degrees Celsius on 11 May '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from NOAA, specifically the highest reading under the "Temp" column on the specified date once information is finalized for all hours on that date, available here: https://www.weather.gov/wrh/timeseries?site=LTFM To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the "Switch to Metric Units" button until the relevant table displays °C. This market can not resolve to "Yes" until data for this date has been finalized.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.

On 11 May 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Istanbul Airport (LTFM) will fall into one of several defined ranges. The market currently shows 0% implied probability across all outcomes, reflecting either sparse liquidity on Polymarket's order book or a technical settlement issue, as historical May temperatures in Istanbul consistently register measurable highs. NOAA's automated weather station at the airport provides the authoritative data source, with resolution contingent on finalised hourly readings through the settlement window closing at 12:00 UTC on the specified date.
Istanbul's May climate patterns show typical highs ranging from 24–28°C, with occasional spikes toward 30°C during warm spells. The 0% crowd probability suggests the market may lack active traders or sufficient order depth to establish meaningful price discovery. Comparable weather markets on Polymarket typically show non-zero probabilities even for less likely temperature ranges, indicating this particular market may be experiencing low participation or a data synchronisation lag rather than genuine consensus that no temperature will be recorded.
Traders monitoring this market should watch for seasonal weather forecasts released in early May 2026 and any anomalous atmospheric patterns affecting the Eastern Mediterranean region. Istanbul's proximity to the Sea of Marmara moderates extreme temperatures, making very high readings (above 32°C) less probable but not impossible during heat waves. The absence of visible liquidity on the order book currently prevents meaningful position-taking, though this may change as the settlement date approaches and forecasts solidify.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
The mechanics for trading "Highest temperature in Istanbul on May 11?" 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.
$56K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the above the median by volume for weather contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
Last 24 hours alone saw $45K 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.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a 2-hour dispute window opens, and if uncontested the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token holders.
This prediction market is scheduled to close on 11 May 2026. After the resolving event occurs, settlement typically clears within 24 hours once the UMA optimistic oracle confirms the outcome. All payouts are in USDC on the Polygon network.

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.
