Market context
Guangzhou faces peak summer heat on 21 July 2026, with the highest temperature at Baiyun International Airport expected to fall within a narrow band. The market currently assigns a 94% probability to 31°C as the outcome, while 32°C holds just 7%, leaving all other ranges at negligible odds [1]. This heavy concentration reflects Guangzhou’s typical mid-July climate, where daily highs cluster tightly around 30–32°C due to consistent monsoon influence and high humidity.
Historical data from recent years shows July 21 temperatures in Guangzhou rarely deviate beyond this 1°C window, making extreme outliers like 28°C or 35°C highly improbable. The current 0% crowd-implied probability for any outcome below 30°C aligns with this pattern, as summer lows in the region seldom dip below 28°C even at night. Traders should view the 94% stake on 31°C as a statistically grounded consensus rather than a speculative bet.
Key catalysts include real-time updates from Wunderground, the official resolution source, which will publish the day’s peak temperature by 12:00 UTC [1]. Any sudden shift in cloud cover, rainfall, or wind speed—currently reported as 7 mph with 92% humidity—could nudge the result toward 32°C [3]. Traders should monitor AccuWeather’s hourly forecasts for Guangzhou ahead of settlement, as a RealFeel® of 96° suggests intense surface heating that may push the recorded maximum slightly higher.

FAQ
- When do sports markets resolve?
- Typically within hours of the official final whistle. Polymarket uses UMA Optimistic Oracle with source URLs pointing at official league data feeds — e.g. the Premier League for EPL markets, UEFA for Champions League, FIFA for World Cup.
- Can I bet on individual matches?
- Yes, Polymarket lists every major Premier League / Champions League / World Cup match as its own market. Liquidity varies — top matches like El Clásico or a semi-final often have six-figure pools, lower-league games closer to three-figure.
- Which sports markets are available?
- 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.
- 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.
- Can I import form data and lineups?
- This page shows the live Polymarket quote as an implied probability. Form data and lineups must be researched separately via sports data providers (e.g. Soccerway, ESPN, FBref) — we surface the market probability, not the sport analysis.
