This market will resolve according to the total precipitation in inches in Central Park, New York City between April 1 and April 30, 2026, 11:59PM ET according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). If the reported value falls exactly between two brackets, then this market will resolve to the higher range bracket. The resolution source for this market will be NOAA, specifically the figure for April 2026 when the "Monthly summarized data" for "Central Park NY" is selected with the variable set to "Precipitation" at the https://www.weather.gov/wrh/climate?wfo=okx link once that figure is finalized for the whole month of April 2026. The resolution source for this market measures precipitation to 2 decimal places (e.g., 1.54), thus, this is the level of precision that will be used when resolving this market. Any revisions to precipitation recorded after data is finalized for this market's timeframe will not be considered for this market's resolution.Through April 17, Central Park observatory in New York City has recorded just 0.61 inches of precipitation—less than 15% of the 1991-2020 monthly normal of 4.09 inches—driving trader consensus to a 69.8% implied probability for under 2 inches total, per NOAA daily climate summaries from the National Weather Service. This stark deficit stems from persistent high-pressure ridging over the Northeast, limiting moisture influx amid ENSO-neutral conditions that reduce tropical moisture transport. A minor 0.26-inch shower on April 17 provided negligible offset, while GFS and ECMWF model ensembles project below-normal rainfall for the remaining 12 days, with equal chances per NOAA Climate Prediction Center outlooks. Updated forecasts from NWS New York could shift sentiment if low-pressure systems develop.
