This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the LaGuardia Airport Station in degrees Fahrenheit on 5 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 LaGuardia Airport Station, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/ny/new-york-city/KLGA. 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.Current National Weather Service and NOAA ensemble forecasts for New York City on August 5 center afternoon highs near 80–83°F, with the spread across model runs and limited afternoon mixing under modest onshore flow driving the tight clustering around the 80–81°F and 82–83°F outcomes. Sea-breeze influences from the Atlantic and variable boundary-layer moisture introduce the main uncertainty, preventing stronger consensus on whether peaks reach the upper end of that range or stay capped by coastal cooling. Historical August normals near 83°F at Central Park provide context, but the near-term model disagreement on diurnal heating and any residual cloud cover keeps lower-probability bins like 84–85°F viable only if mixing strengthens more than currently indicated.
