Market context
Beijing's summer temperatures in late July typically peak between 32–36°C, with occasional heat waves pushing readings above 37°C. The Capital International Airport Station, situated north of the city centre, records official measurements used across meteorological databases and settlement sources. July 25th falls within the city's hottest period, when subtropical air masses and reduced cloud cover drive sustained afternoon highs. Historical records show considerable year-to-year variance: the 2010 heat wave saw peaks near 40°C, whilst cooler summers have registered maxima around 30°C.
The current 0% crowd probability reflects either extreme confidence in a specific temperature band or thin liquidity in this particular range bucket. Beijing's July climate is well-documented, with 30-year normals and recent seasonal patterns available through meteorological archives. Traders should cross-reference China Meteorological Administration forecasts and Wunderground's historical data for the Beijing ZBAA station to calibrate expectations against comparable dates from 2015–2025.
Deposit friction and withdrawal rails directly influence market depth here. Traders using Klarna or SEPA transfers face settlement delays that can compress trading windows near the July 25th close. USDC on-chain settlement offers faster finality but requires crypto familiarity. Markets with shallow books in niche weather outcomes often see wider spreads; funding inflows through lower-friction payment methods typically correlate with tighter pricing and higher participation in secondary temperature bands.

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.
- Which payment methods are supported?
- Klarna (Pay Now / Pay Later), SOFORT, SEPA bank transfer, credit card (Visa/Mastercard), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and direct USDC deposit on Polygon. Availability depends on your jurisdiction.
- 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.
- 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.
