Highest temperature in Seoul (Incheon) on August 11?

Platform comparison

Market context

On 11 August 2026, Seoul's Incheon International Airport weather station will record a daily high temperature in Celsius. This market resolves to whichever temperature band captures that single highest reading, drawn from Weather Underground's Daily Observations table rather than summary figures. The 0% crowd probability suggests traders currently expect no outcome within the lowest temperature ranges offered, though August in Seoul typically sees highs between 28–32°C given the region's humid subtropical summer pattern.

Historical August temperatures at Incheon show considerable year-to-year variation. Between 2015 and 2024, daily highs in early August ranged from 24°C during cooler, wetter years to 34°C during heat-wave conditions. The 2018 Korean heat wave, which pushed Seoul temperatures above 39°C in July and August, demonstrates the upper tail risk; conversely, typhoon activity or monsoon troughs can suppress temperatures into the mid-20s. Current crowd pricing at 0% for lower bands may reflect either genuine confidence in mid-range outcomes or insufficient liquidity in tail positions.

From a regulatory standpoint, this market's accessibility depends on jurisdiction. Under Germany's GlüStV framework, prediction markets on weather events typically fall outside gaming restrictions when structured as information contracts, though traders should verify local classification. US CFTC oversight applies to US persons; most prediction platforms operating under no-KYC thresholds (commonly $1,500 USD) accept non-US residents without identity verification for small stakes, though this market's specific platform terms govern actual access. Traders should confirm their own regulatory standing before participation.

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.

What if regulation changes?
