Highest temperature in Houston on July 10?

Platform comparison

Market context

The market tracks the peak Fahrenheit reading at Houston’s William P. Hobby Airport on 10 July 2026, a date now in the past with settlement data available via Wunderground. Current crowd-implied probability of 0% YES suggests the crowd believes no temperature range offered meets the resolution criteria, likely because the actual high fell outside all listed brackets or the market structure implies a binary outcome that has already been negated by observed conditions.

Historical July highs in Houston typically range from 85°F to 96°F, with the average high at 93°F and early-month averages near 90.3°F [2][6]. Recent live reports for 10 July 2026 confirm scattered storms and hot conditions but no 100-degree day, with temperatures staying below the century mark [8]. This aligns with the 0% probability, as no extreme heat event occurred to trigger a YES outcome in any standard range.

Traders should monitor Wunderground’s official daily record for KHOU, the sole resolution source, and note that German GlüStV rules may restrict access for residents, while US CFTC reach remains limited for non-registered platforms. The ‘no-KYC up to $1,500’ clause enhances accessibility for small traders but does not override jurisdictional bans. No new catalysts are expected post-settlement, as the event has concluded and data is final [1].

FAQ

Do I need to KYC for Polymarket Germany Legal?

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.

Can I trade anonymously?

Pseudonymously, yes — up to the KYC threshold. Polymarket Germany Legal stores an email address and wallet addresses rather than a legal name. Over $1,500 lifetime volume triggers KYC, after which identity is no longer anonymous.

What happens during a tax audit?

You're responsible for documenting your trades. Polymarket Germany Legal exports a full transaction history (CSV/PDF) for tax reporting. In an audit you'll need to present these documents.

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).
