Highest temperature in Munich on July 24?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 24 July 2026, Munich Airport's weather station will record a daily high temperature in Celsius. The settlement hinges on identifying which temperature band contains that single highest reading, with resolution sourced directly from Weather Underground's historical data for the EDDM station. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders currently expect the actual temperature to fall outside the upper ranges offered, or that participation remains sparse on this specific date.

Munich's July climate typically peaks between 24–27°C, though heat waves can drive readings above 30°C. Historical July records at Munich Airport show extremes ranging from 18°C to 37°C across different years, establishing a wide plausible band. The current market structure—with zero implied probability on any outcome—indicates either insufficient liquidity or that the available temperature brackets are poorly calibrated to seasonal norms. Comparable weather markets on Kalshi and Betfair tend to see tighter clustering around climatological medians, whereas Polymarket's decimal-odds format sometimes produces wider spreads on niche weather settlements.

Traders should monitor European weather forecasting updates from mid-July 2026 onwards, particularly anomaly alerts from Deutscher Wetterdienst (DWD). High-pressure systems tracking across central Europe in late July could elevate Munich's maximum significantly. The settlement window closes at 12:00 UTC on the day itself, meaning intraday weather developments will influence final odds. Fee structures vary across platforms—Kalshi's regulatory framework typically charges flat commissions, whilst Polymarket's AMM model may impose slippage on larger positions—affecting effective entry costs on low-liquidity weather pairs.
