توقع: Highest temperature in Seoul (Incheon) on August 18?

Platform comparison

Market context

Seoul's summer temperatures in mid-August typically peak between 28°C and 32°C, though the city experiences considerable year-to-year variation driven by monsoon activity and Pacific typhoon systems. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders are pricing in an extremely low likelihood of temperatures falling outside the expected range or reflecting uncertainty about which specific bracket will resolve.

Historical August data from Incheon International Airport shows that temperatures on the 18th have ranged from 23°C to 34°C over the past two decades, with the most common outcomes clustering around 29–31°C. The settlement mechanism's reliance on Weather Underground's Daily Observations table rather than summary figures introduces a technical resolution dependency; discrepancies between the two sources have occasionally affected weather markets, though Incheon's automated station typically reports consistent readings. Traders should note that the specific temperature bracket thresholds determine resolution, so marginal differences matter considerably.

The primary catalyst affecting August 2026 temperatures will be the position and intensity of the Pacific typhoon season relative to the Korean peninsula. Early-season typhoon activity or a stalled high-pressure system could push temperatures above 33°C, whilst a tropical system bringing cloud cover and rain could suppress highs to 25–27°C. The Korea Meteorological Administration's seasonal outlooks and real-time typhoon tracking will provide actionable signals in the weeks preceding the settlement date. Current atmospheric patterns and sea-surface temperatures in the Western Pacific will be critical indicators for traders positioning ahead of mid-August.

FAQ

Are prediction markets better than sports betting?

Prediction markets tend toward tighter odds than bookmakers because they use peer-to-peer exchange rather than bookmaker margin. On major matches, Polymarket quotes typically sit 2-5% closer to the true probability model than bet365 or DraftKings.

What are live sports odds on Polymarket?

Some top-tier matches stay open during play — you can trade the half-time probability in the 70th minute. Polymarket mid-prices update second-by-second; any frontend mirroring the order book shows the same movement.

Football (soccer) dominates — Champions League, World Cup, Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga — followed by NFL, NBA, tennis Grand Slams, Formula 1, boxing/MMA. Resolution via official league source confirmation.

How fast do sports winnings settle?

Once the official league outcome is logged in the UMA Oracle (typically 1-2 hours after the final whistle), Polymarket's smart contract triggers USDC payout. To your wallet within minutes.

What's the difference between match odds and outright odds?

Match odds cover a single game ("Bayern beats BVB"). Outright odds are long-term aggregates ("Bayern wins the league"). Outright markets have deeper liquidity; match markets have faster resolution.
