Will any month of 2026 be the hottest on record?

Prediction market · Polymarket

Overview

This market will resolve based on the data for the Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index for any month of 2026 versus the data points available for all years for the relevant month on record. If any month of 2026 is the hottest of that month for any year in record, this market will resolve to "Yes". Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". Note: If any month of 2026 is tied for hottest with the same month of another year, this market will resolve to "Yes". The primary resolution source for this market will be the figures found in the table titled "GLOBAL Land-Ocean Temperature Index in 0.01 degrees Celsius" (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v4/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt). If NASA's "Global Temperature Index" is rendered permanently unavailable, other information from NASA may be used. This market may resolve immediately upon the release of data for any month which qualifies towards a "Yes" resolution. If no information for all months is provided by NASA by January 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, a consensus of credible sources will be used to resolve this market.

Copernicus data confirms July 2024 as the hottest month ever recorded, with 2024 poised to eclipse 2023 as the warmest year, elevating the baseline for future extremes. Despite a cooling La Niña phase expected through 2025-2026, ensemble climate models from NOAA and ECMWF project a 70-80% chance of exceeding prior peaks in boreal summer months, fueled by persistent anthropogenic forcing. Trader consensus reflects this, tempered by natural variability, with key updates from seasonal outlooks likely to sway odds further.",
