Market context
Beijing’s highest temperature on 12 July 2026 will be recorded at the Beijing Capital International Airport Station, with settlement based on Wunderground’s daily maximum in degrees Celsius. Historical July data shows daily highs typically cluster around 31°C (88°F), rarely dipping below 26°C or exceeding 36°C, while recent years have seen extremes breach 40°C during intense heatwaves [2][3]. In July 2023, temperatures reached 40°C, and July 2024 was China’s hottest month in recent history, suggesting the 0% crowd-implied probability for lower ranges may understate volatility from persistent heat domes [2][5][10].
Traders should monitor the North China Plain’s heat dome intensity and any official heatwave advisories from China’s National Meteorological Centre, as these directly influence peak temperatures. A recent Reuters report confirmed China recorded its hottest July in recent history in 2024, reinforcing the risk of extreme readings if similar atmospheric conditions recur [10]. The market’s book depth correlates with funding flows via Klarna on-ramps and SEPA withdrawals; friction in depositing or high fees can dampen liquidity, while seamless USDC rails may attract deeper speculative interest. Watch for announcements on regional cooling policies or humidity spikes, which could cap maximums despite high baseline heat.

FAQ
- What does SOFORT cost as a deposit method?
- Polymarket Klarna UK charges no fees for SOFORT. The only cost is the internal FX spread (typically <1%) on EUR→USDC conversion. SOFORT itself has no end-user fees — the platform absorbs acquirer costs.
- Can I deposit with a credit card?
- Yes, Visa and Mastercard. Credit card deposits carry a ~2.5% acquirer surcharge (standard for card payments). Apple Pay and Google Pay run on the same card rails — same surcharge.
- What's the minimum deposit?
- 10 EUR / 10 USD equivalent. No upper limit, but deposits over $1,500 lifetime volume trigger a quick KYC flow (typically 5-10 minutes).
- How do withdrawals work?
- Identical methods in reverse. SEPA withdrawal: T+1 (standard) or under 10 seconds (SEPA Instant). Klarna withdrawals process via bank-account refund. USDC withdrawal to external wallet: Polygon gas cost (typically $0.01).
- Are payment details protected?
- Yes. Card and bank details are never stored by Polymarket Klarna UK — they pass directly through PCI-DSS compliant payment service providers (Adyen, Stripe). Polymarket Klarna UK retains only transaction IDs and Klarna reference numbers for reconciliation.
