Polymarket Weather NO-Side Gaussian Model

Weatherscore 6found Aug 17, 2026github.com/BallesJr/polymarket-weather-edge

Paper-trading bot that bets the NO side of overpriced temperature markets using METAR data and Open-Meteo forecasts with a Gaussian probability model.


This strategy identifies overpriced 'YES' options on Polymarket temperature markets and systematically bets the 'NO' side. The bot uses two primary data sources: live METAR (Meteorological Aerodrome Report) observations from airports near the market's location, and Open-Meteo for high-resolution forecast data. It then applies a Gaussian probability model to estimate the true probability of the temperature outcome. When the market's implied probability (price) is significantly higher than the model's fair probability, it places a paper trade on the NO side. This is a pure statistical edge driven by the crowd's tendency to overestimate the likelihood of record-breaking temperatures. The bot is in paper-trading mode, so verified results are not yet available. Risks include model misspecification, data errors from METAR stations, and the possibility that the market is pricing in information the model doesn't capture.
