This market will resolve to the temperature range that contains the highest temperature recorded at the Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport Station in degrees Fahrenheit on 15 May '26. The resolution source for this market will be information from Wunderground, specifically the highest temperature recorded for all times on this day by the Forecast for the Chicago O'Hare Intl Airport Station once information is finalized, available here: https://www.wunderground.com/history/daily/us/il/chicago/KORD. 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 to "Yes" until all data for this date has been finalized. 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. Any revisions to temperatures recorded after data is finalized for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.Trader consensus on Polymarket favors 74°F or higher at 45.5% implied probability for Chicago's highest temperature on May 15, reflecting National Weather Service guidance projecting highs near 71-72°F amid a sharp warming trend after today's cooler highs in the low 50s under northeast winds. Southerly breezy winds at 15-20 mph with gusts to 30 mph are advecting warmer air from the south, boosting potential for above-normal diurnal heating—May 15 normals average 70°F—while a 20% chance of pre-noon showers introduces uncertainty that could limit peaks. Model consensus shows slight spread, with some runs indicating upside to the mid-70s if clouds clear; watch NWS updates through evening for refined guidance ahead of tomorrow's observations at O'Hare, the likely resolution site.
