Highest temperature in Munich on August 11?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 11 August 2026, Munich Airport Station will record a daily high temperature in Celsius, which this market will settle against using Weather Underground's Daily Observations table as the authoritative source. The resolution window closes at 12:00 UTC on that date, meaning final temperature readings must be confirmed by midday to avoid settlement delays. Munich's August climate typically ranges between 18–27 °C, though heat waves can push readings above 30 °C; the current 0% crowd probability suggests traders expect the high to fall below the lowest offered temperature band.

Historical August temperatures at Munich Airport show considerable year-to-year variation. Between 2015 and 2024, August highs ranged from 19 °C to 32 °C, with extremes driven by Atlantic weather patterns and continental air masses. The 0% probability on all ranges indicates either a data-entry anomaly or genuine uncertainty about which band will resolve correctly; comparable weather markets typically see distributed probability across multiple temperature brackets rather than complete consensus against all outcomes.

Under German GlüStV (Glücksspielstaatsvertrag) regulations, prediction markets on weather events occupy a regulatory grey zone distinct from sports betting, though operators must hold appropriate licences. US CFTC oversight applies to platforms accessible from American IP addresses; Weather Underground data feeds are widely used for US-regulated derivatives, so this market's resolution methodology aligns with established precedent. Traders accessing this market from jurisdictions permitting no-KYC participation up to €1,500 notional exposure should verify their local rules, as temperature-derivative markets fall outside standard exemptions in most EU member states.

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 Germany Legal has a different geo footprint.

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.

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.
