This market will resolve based on the highest temperature recorded in the 'Daily Observations' table on Weather Underground, not the figure displayed in the 'Day High & Low' summary section; in the event of any discrepancy between the two, the Daily Observations table shall be the primary resolution source not the Day High & Low section. This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Station in degrees Fahrenheit on 17 Aug '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day for the Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ga/atlanta/KATL. To toggle between Fahrenheit and Celsius, click the gear icon next to the search bar and switch the Temperature setting between °F and °C. This market can not resolve until the first data point for the following date has been published on the resolution source. The resolution source for this market measures temperatures to whole degrees Fahrenheit (eg, 21°F). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. Revisions to temperatures recorded 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.
A persistent dome of high pressure fueling a regional heat wave is the main driver behind trader consensus favoring 98–101°F for Atlanta's August 17 high, with those bins capturing nearly 80% of market-implied odds. Recent National Weather Service and model guidance show surface temperatures climbing under clear skies and light winds, while elevated humidity supports heat indices above 100°F, consistent with climatological peaks for mid-August when the jet stream remains suppressed. Official observations from Hartsfield-Jackson Airport over the past several days have already reached the mid-90s, and ensemble forecasts indicate limited cloud cover or precipitation to moderate daytime maxima tomorrow. Resolution hinges on the official 24-hour maximum recorded at the primary station, with any late-day steering changes or model shifts in the next 12–24 hours the primary variables that could alter final outcomes.
