YES at 95% implied probability

SLIGHT YES EDGE: Miami's climatological July overnight low profile supports the 80-81°F bracket as the modal outcome, but a two-degree resolution window in a thin market keeps the result genuinely uncertain. Market probability: 53.5%.

Miami on July 5 is almost certainly going to be warm. The question is whether the overnight low lands in the 80-81°F band that traders have priced as the most likely outcome at 53.5%. That is a razor-thin edge in a market where nearly half the capital is sitting on something cooler or warmer. The data doesn’t care about the politics, and right now the data is giving traders a genuinely close call.

The market question asks for the lowest temperature recorded in Miami on July 5, 2026, resolving at 12:00 UTC on that date. The 80-81°F outcome is priced at $0.54 YES against $0.47 NO, with $5,327 in total volume and $19,295 in liquidity. With volume this thin, a few hundred dollars in new bets can move this price noticeably before resolution.

How the Contract Works: Miami’s July Overnight Low

YES pays out if official temperature measurements for Miami on July 5 show a daily minimum landing between 80 and 81 degrees Fahrenheit. Any reading outside that two-degree window, in either direction, resolves this specific contract NO. Ten alternative outcome brackets are also trading, ranging from 69°F or below all the way up to 88°F or higher.

  • YES ($0.54): The overnight low on July 5 falls between 80 and 81°F, the single most likely two-degree bracket in the market.
  • NO ($0.47): The overnight low lands anywhere outside the 80-81°F range, including cooler or warmer alternatives.

For NO to pay out here, Miami’s minimum temperature simply needs to miss a two-degree target. Miami’s July overnight lows cluster tightly, but the competing brackets (78-79°F and 82-83°F) are also trading, which tells you the market sees real probability mass on either side of this band. The two-degree resolution window is narrow enough that even normal day-to-day variability can swing the result.

Momentum and Market Signals: A Market That Moved on July Fourth

The momentum composite here is straightforward. The trend score sits at 51.17, essentially neutral, with no measurable one-hour change. But the 24-hour picture matters: this contract jumped roughly 13.5 percentage points from its opening price on July 4, almost certainly driven by traders updating on observed Miami overnight conditions and short-range National Weather Service forecasts for the July 4-5 window.

Total volume is $5,327, which is the same as the 24-hour volume, meaning this market opened and traded all in one session. Liquidity at $19,295 is better than volume suggests, but with open interest at zero and sub-$10,000 in trades, this is a thin market. Price can move sharply on a small order. Here’s what the measurements are telling us: the market is pricing uncertainty, not science, and a single updated NWS forecast or a shift in overnight conditions could reprice every bracket before the 12:00 UTC close.

  • The 53.5% YES probability for 80-81°F reflects a genuine modal estimate, but the NO side at 46.5% is close enough to take seriously.
  • The 13.5-point price jump on July 4 suggests traders reacted to real-time weather data, not just historical averages.
  • Volume below $10,000 means this market is subject to significant price movement from relatively small new positions.
  • No whale trades are present, so no single large bet is anchoring the price.
  • The one-hour change of 0.0% suggests the market has temporarily settled at current levels pending new information.

Lines Analysis: What Miami’s Climate Profile Says

Miami’s July overnight lows historically run warm and humid, with the urban heat island effect keeping minimums elevated. July is deep in Miami’s wet season, and overnight temperatures rarely drop below 78°F in modern records. The 80-81°F bracket captures the climatological sweet spot for a July night in the city. Dew points regularly exceed 75°F in July, which puts a hard floor under overnight cooling and supports the upper-end brackets.

The case for a miss is real, though. A stronger than expected sea breeze, an overnight convective event that pulls cooler air through, or a cloudier than forecast evening could push the minimum down to the 78-79°F bracket. Going the other way, a stagnant air mass with high overnight dew points and light winds could push the minimum above 82°F. Neither scenario is far-fetched for Miami in early July.

  • The National Weather Service Miami forecast office publishes updated short-range forecasts every six hours. Any shift in the July 5 overnight low forecast directly reprices this market.
  • Miami International Airport (the standard official observation point) has recorded July overnight lows above 80°F with increasing frequency in recent years due to urban warming.
  • An active Atlantic weather system moving near South Florida could either suppress overnight lows with precipitation or elevate them with warm advection.
  • The 78-79°F and 82-83°F competing brackets are the most likely alternatives. Monitoring their prices gives a real-time read on where competing capital is moving.

The $5,327 in total volume is light. The 80-81°F bracket has the highest single-outcome probability, but with 53.5% YES, the market is effectively saying there is nearly a coin-flip chance the low falls somewhere else entirely. The data slightly favors YES, but not by enough to treat this as settled.

LINES VERDICT

SLIGHT YES EDGE, HIGH UNCERTAINTY

Miami’s July overnight lows favor the 80-81°F range based on climatological patterns and the recent price move, but a two-degree resolution window in a thin market with no whale confirmation means this is genuinely open.

What the market says: At 53.5%, the market sees 80-81°F as the most likely single outcome but is far from certain. With resolution at 12:00 UTC on July 5, any final National Weather Service update before dawn could swing the price sharply.

Key unknown: The July 5 overnight low as measured at Miami International Airport, informed by the final NWS Miami short-range forecast issued in the hours before resolution. That single reading decides every bracket in this market.

This analysis reflects market conditions as of 2026-07-04 02:13:54. Prediction market probabilities are volatile and shift as new data and regulatory decisions emerge, especially as the 2026-07-05 12:00:00 resolution date approaches.

Frequently Asked Questions

It means traders collectively estimate a 53.5% chance Miami's July 5 overnight low lands between 80 and 81°F. Nearly half the market expects the low to fall outside that two-degree window.

NO pays if the official Miami minimum temperature on July 5 falls anywhere outside the 80-81°F range. Cooler readings like 78-79°F or warmer readings like 82-83°F both resolve this contract NO.

An updated National Weather Service Miami short-range forecast showing a shift in the July 5 overnight low would directly reprice this contract and competing temperature brackets.

The market resolves at 12:00 UTC on July 5, 2026, based on the official lowest temperature recorded in Miami on that date.

Volume this low means the market is thin. A few hundred dollars in new bets can move the price significantly. Treat the 53.5% estimate as a directional signal, not a firm consensus.

What Could Shift These Probabilities?

Warm Night Confirmed

A stagnant air mass with high overnight dew points and light winds keeps Miami's minimum firmly in the 80-81°F band. The NWS Miami forecast holds steady, no competing brackets gain ground, and YES resolves at full value. This is the modal scenario the market is pricing, but it requires conditions to cooperate through the overnight hours.

Sea Breeze or Convection Cools the Night

A stronger than expected sea breeze or an overnight convective event pulls the minimum down to 78-79°F, shifting capital out of this bracket. The NO side gains ground rapidly as new NWS guidance revises the overnight low downward. In a market with only $5,327 in volume, even a modest shift in forecast consensus reprices the contract sharply.

Competing Bracket Closes the Gap

The 82-83°F bracket gains traction if an unusually warm and humid air mass settles over South Florida overnight. Traders rotating out of the 80-81°F YES position into the warmer bracket would push this contract toward NO without requiring the low to drop. The narrow two-degree window is the vulnerability.

Weather System Changes Everything

An unexpected Atlantic disturbance or squall line moving through Miami overnight could either suppress the low dramatically or trap heat at the surface, landing the minimum in an outlier bracket like 76-77°F or 84-85°F. Miami's wet season makes overnight convective surprises genuinely possible, and this market has no whale capital anchoring any single outcome.

Key macro factor: Miami's urban heat island effect and elevated Atlantic sea surface temperatures in 2026 create a structural bias toward warmer overnight lows compared to historical averages, supporting the upper end of the temperature distribution.
