Highest temperature in Chengdu on August 6?

Platform comparison

Market context

The event is whether the day’s **highest recorded temperature** at Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport Station lands in the market’s specified Celsius band on 6 August 2026. August is normally Chengdu’s hottest, wettest stretch, with long-run daytime highs around 30°C and frequent rain, so the question is not whether it is warm, but how far the peak reading pushes above the seasonal norm.[1][6][12]

That helps explain why a 0% YES crowd price is not impossible in context: Chengdu’s August highs commonly sit in the low 30s, but the airport observation can still miss a threshold if cloud, rain, or a weaker afternoon heating cycle caps the maximum. Comparable climate guides show typical August highs around 30–32°C, with some forecasts or historical ranges extending into the mid-30s, which means the market should be read as a single-day station-specific outcome rather than a broad city average.[4][6][9][20]

For accessibility and legal framing, the platform’s “no-KYC up to $1,500” generally means smaller participation is available without full identity verification, but higher activity or withdrawals can trigger checks; for a German user, GlüStV rules may still affect whether access is lawful, while US-facing availability can sit within the CFTC’s enforcement reach if the venue offers event contracts into the United States. The immediate catalysts are the late-day local weather evolution, any official updates to Chengdu forecasts, and the settlement source itself, which is Wunderground’s daily history page for the airport station; the latest city forecast issued by Hong Kong’s observatory still showed Chengdu at 21–35°C with rain, underscoring that the upper end remains sensitive to intraday conditions.[9]

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?

You're responsible for documenting your trades. Is Kalshi Legit exports a full transaction history (CSV/PDF) for tax reporting. In an audit you'll need to present these documents.

Is there a withdrawal cap?

No platform-side cap. You can withdraw any amount provided KYC is complete. SEPA bank withdrawals over €15,000 trigger additional anti-money-laundering checks (statutory obligation for all platforms).
