Istanbul in mid-April typically transitions from spring to early summer, with average highs around 18–20°C. Predicting an exact high temperature of 16°C on April 20 is a highly specific outcome. This market resolves based on the highest recorded temperature in Istanbul on that date, as reported by official meteorological stations monitoring the region. The current 2% odds reflect the rarity of hitting precisely 16°C—a temperature that sits slightly below the seasonal average, suggesting most traders assess this outcome as highly unlikely. For the market to resolve YES, not only would the day need to remain cooler than typical for late April, but the high must land on exactly that single degree mark. Weather variability in spring means daily highs can fluctuate significantly based on wind patterns, cloud cover, and atmospheric systems moving through the Mediterranean region. The odds have remained consistently low since market inception, with minimal trading activity suggesting strong consensus skepticism around this specific temperature threshold. Participants monitoring this market are essentially predicting both an unusually cool day and a precise, exact temperature outcome.
The market resolves based on the highest temperature recorded in Istanbul on April 20, 2026. A YES resolution requires the high to equal exactly 16°C; any other temperature resolves the market NO.
