Highest temperature in Madrid on July 31?

Platform comparison

Market context

Madrid’s top temperature for 31 July is a one-day weather outcome at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport, with settlement based on the day’s highest reading rather than the afternoon forecast alone. The live crowd price at 0% for **YES** sits well below the recent Spanish-summer baseline, where Madrid commonly reaches the low-to-mid 30s Celsius in July and short heat spikes above that are not unusual.[7][9][16]

That makes the market easier to read through comparable heat episodes than through the headline forecast alone. Recent airport observations have already shown peaks in the high 30s Celsius, and the city has a long record of July extremes, including values around 40.7°C at other Madrid stations.[12][11] The 0% implied probability therefore looks more like a stale or placeholder price than a statement that the event is impossible, especially given that a one-day high can move materially if a hot air mass persists into the afternoon.[18][19]

For accessibility, the regulatory frame matters as much as the weather. If the venue is offered under German-facing terms, GlüStV restrictions can affect whether it is available at all to users in Germany, while US users face the broader issue that the CFTC has reach over event contracts that can be treated as derivatives.[20] “No-KYC up to $1,500” typically means small withdrawals or cumulative activity can be done without full identity verification, which lowers onboarding friction but does not remove jurisdictional blocks, and it is especially relevant for a single-day weather market where traders may want only modest exposure rather than full account verification.
