On 8 May 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport in Lucknow will fall within one of several defined ranges. The market currently shows 100% implied probability across the order book, indicating either extreme confidence in a particular temperature band or insufficient liquidity to establish differentiated pricing. Resolution will depend on historical weather data from Wunderground, the designated source, which archives daily temperature records for this specific station.
Lucknow's May temperatures are shaped by pre-monsoon conditions in northern India, typically ranging between 38–45°C at this time of year. Historical data from the airport station shows considerable year-to-year variation; May 2022 recorded highs near 44°C whilst May 2023 peaked around 42°C. These precedents suggest the market's current pricing may reflect uncertainty about whether conditions will trend toward the cooler or warmer end of typical late-spring ranges. The Indian Meteorological Department issues seasonal forecasts in April that could shift trader positioning once published.
Key variables affecting the outcome include the timing of pre-monsoon thunderstorms, which can suppress afternoon temperatures, and the strength of westerly winds across the Indo-Gangetic plain. Any significant weather system moving into northern India in early May could materially alter daily highs. Traders should monitor IMD advisories and real-time weather updates in the week preceding settlement, as atmospheric conditions can shift rapidly during this transitional season.
This market settles from the official outcome published at https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/in/lucknow/VILK. A proposer submits the final result to the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon; the two-hour dispute window closes and payouts clear in USDC.
The mechanics for trading "Highest temperature in Lucknow on May 8?" 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.
$36K in lifetime turnover and $0 of resting liquidity puts this market in the around 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.
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.
