This market will resolve based on the highest wind speed, in miles per hour, reported on the summit of Mt. Washington in New Hampshire in August, 2026. The resolution source will be data published by the Mt. Washington Weather Observatory. F6 reports containing daily wind speed recordings can be found here: https://mountwashington.org/weather/mount-washington-weather-archives/monthly-f6/. The resolution source for this market measures wind speeds to whole mile per hour (eg, 67mph). Thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving the market. Revisions to the wind speed recorded within this market's timeframe will be considered until the first datapoint for the following month has been published, after which any alterations will not be considered.Mount Washington Observatory data show early August 2026 gusts reaching 70 mph amid typical summit exposure to strong pressure gradients and orographic lift, well above the 24.5 mph monthly average. The all-time August peak of 147 mph (2020) underscores potential for rapid intensification from passing lows or jet stream interactions. With the month only days old and no major systems yet, trader consensus on a ≥85 mph outcome reflects historical frequency of late-month events rather than current readings. Continuous NWS and observatory anemometer updates through August will refine model guidance on wind maxima, directly informing resolution thresholds.
