The high market-implied probability of no US hurricane landfall in August reflects the absence of any active or imminent tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin as of mid-month, with National Hurricane Center monitoring showing no organized systems capable of rapid intensification or steering toward the coastline. Elevated wind shear, drier mid-level air, and a lack of African easterly wave activity have suppressed development in the main development region, consistent with recent model consensus from NOAA and GFS runs. With only two weeks remaining in the month, the narrow time window for formation, strengthening to hurricane intensity on the Saffir-Simpson scale, and landfall further reduces odds, aligning trader sentiment with current observational data and seasonal climatology.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if a hurricane makes landfall in the conterminous United States between August 1 and August 31, 2026, 11:59:59 PM ET, as reported in official National Hurricane Center advisories (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/archive/) and post-storm Tropical Cyclone Reports (https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/data/tcr/). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". A landfall counts toward this total only if it occurs within this window; the time of the physical landfall governs, not the time any confirming advisory is issued.
A hurricane is a tropical cyclone with maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or greater (Category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale), as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutsshws.php, and a hurricane landfall is said to occur when the hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline, as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL. A storm must hold hurricane strength (Category 1 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale) at the moment its surface center intersects the coastline for that landfall to qualify.
This market may resolve based on the initial NHC advisory reporting a qualifying landfall regardless of any later advisory, retraction, best-track revision, or reanalysis that revises that storm's intensity downward at the time of landfall. However, if a subsequent advisory or correction identifies a qualifying landfall that was not reflected in initial reporting, that landfall will be added.The high market-implied probability of no US hurricane landfall in August reflects the absence of any active or imminent tropical cyclones in the Atlantic basin as of mid-month, with National Hurricane Center monitoring showing no organized systems capable of rapid intensification or steering toward the coastline.
