On 25 May 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Istanbul Airport will fall into one of several defined ranges. The market settles based on NOAA's official reading from the "Temp" column for that date, converted to Celsius. Currently, the order book on Polymarket reflects a 0% implied probability, suggesting traders are pricing in either extreme confidence in a specific outcome or minimal liquidity at current spreads.
Istanbul's May temperatures typically range between 20–28°C, with historical data from May showing highs occasionally reaching into the low 30s during heat waves. The 0% probability across all ranges appears anomalous given normal seasonal variation and would require either a data feed issue or concentrated positioning at extreme price levels. Comparable May weather events in the Eastern Mediterranean show sufficient volatility that multiple temperature bands should carry non-negligible probability mass.
Key dependencies include the accuracy of NOAA's Istanbul Airport station (LTFM) and whether the settlement window captures the full 24-hour period. Traders should monitor late-May weather forecasts from mid-May onwards, particularly any alerts from Turkish meteorological services regarding heat waves or unusual pressure systems. The settlement mechanism requires clicking through to metric units on NOAA's website, introducing a small operational risk if the data interface changes before the resolution date.
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.

If a dispute is filed inside the two-hour window, the outcome escalates to UMA token-holder voting, which extends settlement by roughly 48 hours. This particular market has no public resolution feed listed; disputes here are more likely if the underlying outcome is subject to interpretation, in which case the UMA token-vote arbitrates the wording of the original market question.

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. For "Highest temperature in Istanbul on May 25?", the considerations above apply directly — Trade size should reflect the binary nature of the payoff: even a 70% probability event resolves NO 30% of the time, so any single position can lose 100% of staked capital.
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.
