Chicago Weather Markets on Kalshi

Today's projected temperature next to what the market is charging. Contracts settle on the official National Weather Service reading — not a phone app, and not necessarily the airport you'd expect.

Worth knowing

Chicago's market settles at Midway (KMDW), not O'Hare. This trips up almost everyone: O'Hare is the airport people quote, it's the one most weather apps show for “Chicago”, and on a given day the two can differ by a couple of degrees. Reading O'Hare produces a systematic error that feels like an edge.
