About This Event

This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the lowest temperature reported at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD) on 13 Nov '26. The qualifying value is the lowest temperature reported in the hourly temperature remark of any routine (METAR) observation for Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD) on that date, in tenths of a degree Celsius as reported. A report whose line begins with SPECI is a special observation and does not count. Every other report is routine, including one issued off the nominal hour and one that carries no METAR or SPECI label. For How to Read the METAR Report, see: https://polymarket-upload.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/market_products/Weather/How+to+Read+the+METAR+Report.pdf The hourly temperature remark is the group beginning with the letter T followed by exactly eight digits. After the T, one digit for sign (0 positive, 1 negative) and three for tenths of a degree Celsius give the temperature; the following four are the dew point and are not used. T01390133 is 13.9°C; T10171022 is −1.7°C. If a routine observation does not carry the hourly temperature remark, the temperature group in the body of that observation governs for that observation, in whole degrees Celsius as reported. It appears as temperature and dew point separated by a slash, with M marking a negative value: 18/12 is 18°C; M11/M17 is −11°C. An observation that reports no temperature in either place is disregarded. Each market in this event states its range in whole degrees Celsius. The qualifying value is rounded to the nearest whole degree, with a value ending in exactly half rounded up to the next higher whole degree, and that whole Celsius value determines which range contains it. For example, 13.9°C counts as 14°C; 17.4°C counts as 17°C; 16.5°C counts as 17°C; −1.7°C counts as −2°C; −8.5°C counts as −8°C. An observation counts if its time stamp, converted to the station's local time (including any daylight-saving shift in effect), falls on the observation date. This market will resolve at the issuance of the first METAR observation for the station on the day following the observation date or by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, whichever comes first. Resolution is determined from the observations the resolution source shows for the observation date. In the event that the Aviation Weather Center has published no routine observation reporting a temperature for the observation date by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table will be used as the resolution source. In the event that neither source has published data sufficient to determine a temperature for the observation date by 11:59 PM ET on the day following the observation date, this market will resolve to the lowest bracket. The report the resolution source shows for a given observation time is the one that counts, whether or not it is marked as a correction (COR). Changes to observations within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following date has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered. Where the first routine observation for the following date is published before that deadline, resolution is determined from a read taken after it. Where it is not, resolution is determined from a read taken at that deadline. In the case that the Resolution Source publishes data, sufficient to settle a Market, that is clearly erroneous and the result of technical or operational error, or of unauthorized interference with the Resolution Source or its data, the Market may remain open for a period of up to seven (7) calendar days (ET) from the time of the original release, in anticipation of a correction by the Resolution Source. If the Resolution Source publishes a corrected value within that period, that value will be eligible for resolution. If no corrected value is published within that period, Polymarket will issue a Clarification to determine whether the originally published value may be eligible for resolution, or whether other action is required to preserve the orderly functioning of the Market. The resolution source for this market will be the routine observations for Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD) published here: https://aviationweather.gov/api/data/metar?ids=ZSPD&format=raw&date=2026-11-13T19:00:00Z&hours=30

What the contract measures

The event asks for the lowest temperature at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD) on 13 Nov '26 [1]. The qualifying value comes only from routine METAR observations, and reports beginning with SPECI do not count [1]. The hourly temperature remark is used when present. If a routine observation lacks it, the temperature group in the body of the report governs, in whole degrees Celsius [1]. Values are rounded to the nearest whole degree, with exact halves rounded up, so 16.5°C counts as 17°C [1].

Each market covers one range. Most are single degrees, while the outer brackets are open ended, such as "10°C or below" and "20°C or higher" [1]. Resolution uses the Aviation Weather Center observations. If those are insufficient, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table is used, and if neither source has enough data by the deadline, the market resolves to the lowest bracket [1]. The rules also allow up to seven calendar days for a corrected value when published data is clearly erroneous [1].

Reading the snapshot

The prices were observed at 2026-11-12T09:00:07.080Z and retrieved at 2026-11-12T09:23:14.701Z [1]. They describe that moment and are not live quotes or executable prices. The listed end time is 2026-11-13T12:00:00.000Z [1]. This is not the same as the resolution timing, which the rules tie to the first METAR for the following day or an 11:59 PM ET deadline, whichever comes first [1].

At the snapshot, the 15°C Yes price was 0.44 and the 16°C Yes price was 0.43, the highest listed Yes prices [1]. The 18°C Yes price was 0.275. The 13°C, 14°C, 17°C, 12°C and 19°C Yes prices ranged from 0.05 to 0.095 [1]. The 10°C or below Yes price was 0.0205, the 20°C or higher price was 0.014, and the 11°C price was 0.01 [1]. All 11 saved markets are included, so no listed outcome is omitted from this sample [1]. The Yes prices sum to about 1.54, so they do not form a single consistent distribution and should not be read as verified probabilities.

What remains uncertain

The snapshot does not explain why prices are where they are, and it contains no information on trader counts, news, or depth of trading. Volume is not a measure of liquidity. The sample warning notes that the saved markets do not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome [1]. Comparisons should stay within this one event, since markets from different events or platforms may use different wording, close times, or resolution sources. Final resolution depends on which observations the resolution source shows and on any corrections made within the permitted window [1].

Overview

This contract is a weather-based market titled "Lowest temperature in Shanghai on November 13?" It asks which temperature range will contain the lowest temperature reported at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD) on 13 November 2026. The airport is the station named in the resolution rules [1]. The market is not a city-wide measure of Shanghai's temperature. It tracks one airport station's reports for one calendar day. The rules define the qualifying value as the lowest temperature in the hourly temperature remark of any routine METAR observation for that station on the observation date [1]. Special observations, whose lines begin with SPECI, do not count [1]. Every other report counts, including reports issued off the nominal hour and reports that carry no METAR or SPECI label [1]. The hourly remark is the group that begins with the letter T followed by eight digits. The first digit gives the sign, and the next three give the temperature in tenths of a degree Celsius. The four digits after that give the dew point and are not used [1]. If a routine observation lacks that hourly remark, the temperature group in the body of the observation governs instead, in whole degrees Celsius [1]. An observation counts only if its timestamp, converted to the station's local time including any daylight-saving shift, falls on the observation date [1]. Each market in the event covers a range stated in whole degrees Celsius. The qualifying value is rounded to the nearest whole degree, and a value ending in exactly half is rounded up. The rounded figure then determines which range contains it [1]. The rules give examples, such as 13.9 degrees counting as 14 degrees and minus 8.5 degrees counting as minus 8 degrees [1]. The primary resolution source is the set of routine observations for ZSPD that the Aviation Weather Center publishes [1]. If that source has published no routine observation reporting a temperature for the observation date by 11:59 PM ET on the following day, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table is used instead [1]. Corrected reports are treated the same as other reports when the resolution source shows them, and changes are considered only until the first datapoint for the following date has been published [1]. If the source publishes clearly erroneous data caused by technical or operational error, the market may remain open for up to seven calendar days to await a correction [1]. The resolution rules describe the market as active with a listed end time of 12:00 UTC on 13 November 2026 [1]. That is the listed end time in the contract data, not a confirmed event date or an announced outcome. The status shown here reflects the time the provider data was observed, so it should not be read as a live status. Shanghai itself is described as a provincial-level direct-administered municipality on the southern estuary of the Yangtze River [2]. The supplied background does not explain how the city's climate or weather patterns relate to this particular airport reading.

Why It Matters

The contract measures a narrow, rule-defined quantity: the lowest routine temperature reading at one named airport station on one date. Its value depends on the rules for which reports qualify, how values are converted and rounded, which source is used, and when the market closes [1]. Readers should understand the contract's terms before interpreting any price, because the same city's weather can be recorded differently depending on those terms. The rules also specify fallback sources and a lowest-bracket outcome if no source publishes usable data, which shows how the contract handles missing information [1].

Snapshot context

The latest published provider snapshot for this topic was observed on 2026-11-12 at 09:00 UTC. It contains listings from Polymarket.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which temperature counts toward resolution?

The qualifying value is the lowest temperature reported in the hourly temperature remark of any routine METAR observation for Shanghai Pudong International Airport on the observation date. SPECI special observations do not count [1].

How are temperatures rounded to a bracket?

The qualifying value is rounded to the nearest whole degree Celsius, and a value ending in exactly half is rounded up. That rounded value determines the range that contains it [1].

What happens if the primary source lacks data?

If the Aviation Weather Center has published no routine observation reporting a temperature for the date by 11:59 PM ET on the following day, the Weather Underground Daily Observations table is used. If neither source has published enough data by that deadline, the market resolves to the lowest bracket [1].

Do corrected observations count?

The report the resolution source shows for a given observation time counts whether or not it is marked as a correction. Changes are considered only until the first datapoint for the following date is published [1].

Does the airport reading represent all of Shanghai?

No. The rules tie resolution to observations from one station, Shanghai Pudong International Airport (ZSPD) [1]. The city's population and geography are described separately in background sources [2].
