Highest temperature in Tokyo on July 13?

Platform comparison

Market context

Tokyo Haneda Airport is expected to face peak summer heat on 13 July 2026, with forecast highs ranging between 29°C and 31°C, while the current market assigns zero probability to any outcome exceeding the settlement threshold implied by the 0% YES price. Historical data shows Japan recorded its highest-ever temperature of 41.2°C in Tamba City in late July 2025, yet Haneda typically remains cooler due to coastal exposure and urban airflow patterns, making extreme outliers less likely than inland spikes [5][1]. The 0% crowd-implied probability suggests traders view a breach of the implied upper bound as statistically negligible given recent regional trends and the station’s specific microclimate.

Regulatory framing remains critical for accessibility: German GlüStV implications mean platforms must verify user identity for bets exceeding €1,500, while US CFTC reach extends jurisdiction over prediction markets offering binary outcomes tied to real-world events. The “no-KYC up to $1,500” clause allows traders to access this market without identity verification if their position stays under that limit, enhancing liquidity from anonymous participants but limiting institutional participation. Traders should monitor the Japan Meteorological Agency’s weekly heat advisories and any sudden shifts in the 7-day forecast for Haneda, as these serve as primary catalysts for probability recalibration [4]. A Reuters report on Japan’s 2025 heat record underscores the volatility of summer temperatures, though Haneda’s proximity to the bay typically moderates extremes compared to inland cities [5].

Is Polymarket legal in my country?
