Highest temperature in Dallas on July 13?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 13 July 2026, the highest temperature recorded at Dallas Love Field Station will fall into one of several defined ranges. The settlement will draw from Wunderground's historical weather database, which logs hourly observations throughout each calendar day. The current crowd-implied probability of 0% YES suggests traders are either awaiting range definitions or treating this as a baseline calibration market before specific temperature brackets are published.

Dallas summer temperatures typically peak between 95–99°F in mid-July, with occasional excursions above 100°F during heat waves. Historical July records at Love Field show a mean high near 96°F and a record of 113°F set in 1980. The 0% reading reflects standard practice in nascent weather markets: traders often wait for explicit range thresholds (e.g., "95–97°F," "98–100°F") before committing capital, since ambiguity about settlement boundaries creates basis risk. Comparable US weather markets on Polymarket have shown sharp probability shifts once ranges crystallise, particularly when they align with climatological normals versus extreme-weather scenarios.

Traders should monitor the National Weather Service Dallas/Fort Worth office for seasonal forecasts issued in early July 2026, as well as any updates to the market's range definitions. Atmospheric patterns in mid-summer—including the position of the Bermuda High and any tropical moisture intrusion—will influence whether temperatures cluster near the 96°F seasonal mean or push into the 100–105°F band. The settlement window closes at 12:00 UTC on 13 July, giving traders a narrow window to adjust positions after morning forecasts but before afternoon peak temperatures are recorded.

FAQ

Is Polymarket legal in my country?

Polymarket is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Actual usage via the Polymarket interface is not possible there. The legal status itself varies — many countries treat prediction markets as a gray area. Polymarket Tax UK has a different geo footprint.

Do I need to KYC for Polymarket Tax UK?

Not for lifetime trading volume under $1,500. Above that threshold, a quick KYC flow kicks in — ID, selfie, approximately 5-10 minutes. The threshold matches FATF travel standards for unregulated crypto platforms.

How are winnings taxed?

Tax treatment varies by jurisdiction. In most countries, prediction market gains are treated as ordinary income or capital gains. We cannot provide tax advice — consult a tax professional for your specific situation.

Are prediction markets gambling?

Legally unclear in most jurisdictions. Some interpretations classify them as wagering (gambling regulation applies), others as derivatives (financial regulation applies). There's no global precedent specifically for on-chain prediction markets.

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).
