Kalshi Weather and Temperature Markets
Kalshi lists a daily high and low temperature market per city and hourly markets on the Kalshi Weather Index. Here is what each one settles on, and the station behind all 24 cities minuteTemp tracks.
What Kalshi lists
Kalshi files its temperature markets under Climate and Weather. There are two kinds.
- Daily high and low. One event per city per day, titled like “Highest temperature in NYC” (series KXHIGHNY) or “Lowest temperature in NYC” (KXLOWTNYC). Each event is a set of strikes on that day's high or low, such as “Will the maximum temperature be >88°?”. Each city reads one station.
- Hourly. One market per hour for Miami, New York City, Chicago, Los Angeles Coastal. These settle on the Kalshi Weather Index, an average of several airport stations, not on the daily station. See Kalshi hourly temperature markets.
How Kalshi daily temperature markets settle
Kalshi's daily temperature markets settle on the National Weather Service daily climate report (CLI) for the station each market names. Every market carries its own rules. The rules on Kalshi market KXHIGHNY-26OCT02-T88 read:

- Location. The code in brackets is the National Weather Service climate report code for the station. CLINYC is Central Park, not LaGuardia or JFK.
- Source. Kalshi's GLOBALTEMPERATURE contract terms name the National Weather Service as the source agency. The market rules cite the value as published on The Weather Company's Kalshi data portal, weather.com/kalshi.
- Which report counts. Kalshi's GLOBALTEMPERATURE contract terms use the first official non-preliminary report. Revisions published after expiration are not counted.
- Precision. Under the same terms, resolution uses the full precision the source reports. Rounding by other sites does not affect it.
