Highest temperature in Dallas on July 13?

Platform comparison

Market context

The Dallas Love Field Station will record its highest temperature on 13 July 2026, and traders are currently pricing this outcome at 0% across the available range brackets. This market settles against historical weather data from Wunderground, making it a straightforward factual resolution tied to a single meteorological reading rather than subjective interpretation or delayed reporting.

Dallas experiences peak summer heat in mid-July, with historical highs typically ranging between 94–98°F during this period. The 0% crowd probability suggests either extreme confidence in a specific temperature band or insufficient liquidity across the full range of possible outcomes. On Polymarket, where this market appears, traders see implied probabilities displayed directly; Kalshi and Betfair would present the same data via decimal odds (where 1.01 reflects near-certainty), though fee structures differ—Polymarket charges 2% on winnings, whilst Betfair's commission varies by market volume. The absence of meaningful probability mass across any bracket indicates sparse trading activity, a common pattern for hyper-specific weather markets that lack the volume seen on broader climate or seasonal forecasts.

Traders monitoring this market should track the National Weather Service Dallas/Fort Worth office forecasts as July 2026 approaches, particularly any heat advisories or unusual atmospheric patterns that might shift expected highs. Seasonal drought conditions or anomalous pressure systems could push temperatures beyond typical ranges. The settlement window closes at midday UTC on 13 July, meaning traders have no opportunity to adjust positions after the actual high is recorded locally.
