Weather and climate prediction markets are part of prediction markets that let you trade a contract on a clear numerical question — such as the peak recorded temperature in a city over the summer — settled against an official meteorological source, with no leverage, no riba and a capped loss.
It is a non-political, non-controversial topic based on public climate data. On PolySouq — the leading Arabic event and prediction-market platform — you try it with free coins at zero financial risk.
These are markets where the question is a measurable climate number, such as: "What will be the peak recorded temperature in Kuwait City during summer 2026?" You pick the range you find most likely, and the contract price reflects its probability. It is a natural extension of the logic of how prediction markets work for any measurable, settleable event.
Temperature range probabilities respond to historical averages, heatwave forecasts and seasonal climate patterns. Following meteorological data lets you estimate the most likely range with more confidence. This is the same principle as choosing the right markets — you pick a market where you hold an information-based read.
The market settles against a pre-announced official meteorological source at the end of the period — the number as published by the weather authority, not the platform's discretion. This makes the outcome verifiable by everyone, as we explain in how PolySouq settles its markets transparently.

Weather and climate prediction markets within prediction markets are a lawful, legitimate activity built on data and probabilities rather than luck, with a capped loss and no leverage. They are a fun, non-controversial way to learn to read probabilities. Remember every forecast carries risk; trade only what you can afford to lose.
They are markets within prediction markets where the question is a measurable climate number, such as the peak recorded temperature in a city over a season, settled against an official meteorological source with a loss capped at the contract cost.
Because the outcome is numerical and measurable from an official source, the topic is public and non-political, historical data helps estimate probabilities instead of guessing, and settlement dates are clear.

No. It rests on public climate data and measurable probabilities rather than luck, with no riba, no leverage and a capped loss — factors that distinguish it from gambling.
