Highest temperature in San Francisco on July 14?

Platform comparison

Market context

San Francisco’s highest temperature on 14 July 2026 will be recorded at the San Francisco International Airport Station, with the market now pricing a 93% probability that it falls between 78–79°F and only a 6% chance of 80–81°F, while the 0% YES crowd-implied probability for any outcome outside these ranges reflects tight historical clustering [1].

Historical July highs at KSFO typically stay within 75–82°F, with extreme outliers above 85°F occurring rarely due to the city’s marine influence; the current 93% concentration on 78–79°F aligns with the median of the past decade’s mid-July peaks, making the 0% probability for alternative ranges a rational reflection of climatic stability rather than an anomaly [1].

Traders should monitor the National Weather Service’s 7-day forecast for the Bay Area, which updates daily and may signal shifts in marine layer strength or inland heat advection, alongside Wunderground’s real-time daily history page for KSFO, the official resolution source, to verify early temperature trends as the settlement window approaches 14 July 2026 [1]. Under German GlüStV, such weather markets fall under state-supervised gambling rules, while US CFTC reach remains limited for non-financial weather outcomes; the ‘no-KYC up to $1,500’ threshold means UK and EU residents can access this market without identity verification, provided they stay under the limit, enhancing accessibility without altering the underlying regulatory framework.

FAQ

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.

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.

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).

What if regulation changes?

If regulation changes in your jurisdiction (e.g. prediction markets are banned), Polymarket Germany Legal would geo-block the affected region and continue processing withdrawals. Your funds remain withdrawable at any time.
