This market will resolve based on the data for the Global Land-Ocean Temperature Index for May 2026 versus the data points available for all other Mays on record. Note: If May 2026 is tied for first, second, or third hottest with another year, it will qualify for the bracket it ties with. The primary resolution source for this market will be the figures found in the table titled "GLOBAL Land-Ocean Temperature Index in 0.01 degrees Celsius" under the column "May" (https://data.giss.nasa.gov/gistemp/tabledata_v4/GLB.Ts+dSST.txt). If NASA's "Global Temperature Index" is rendered permanently unavailable, other information from NASA may be used. If no information for May 2026 is provided by NASA by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, a consensus of credible sources will be used to resolve this market.Recent observational data from global temperature networks show May 1–3, 2026 readings tracking near the upper end of historical distributions, primarily because of the long-term anthropogenic warming trend superimposed on seasonal patterns. Market-implied odds heavily favor a second-hottest ranking because preliminary reanalysis products indicate values slightly below the 2024 or 2023 peaks yet well above the 1991–2020 baseline. Key drivers include elevated ocean heat content in the tropical Pacific and North Atlantic plus reduced aerosol cooling, factors that have produced comparable early-May anomalies in recent years. Official daily global temperature releases expected in the coming weeks will determine final placement on the ranking scale, with any adjustments to homogenization methods or satellite calibration capable of altering the precise order among the top few years.
