This market resolves "Yes" if Super Typhoon Dolphin makes landfall on any landmass while the most recently issued JMA advisory prior to the crossing shows maximum sustained wind speed near center of 105 knots or higher, corresponding approximately to Category 4 equivalent intensity on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Landfall is defined as the center of Dolphin's circulation physically crossing any coastline, as determined by the Japan Meteorological Agency's (JMA) position advisories (https://www.jma.go.jp/bosai/map.html#contents=typhoon&lang=en), or by credible international news reporting confirming landfall. The single JMA advisory in effect immediately prior to the observed crossing is authoritative for both position and intensity; no subsequent real-time advisory, reclassification, or post-season best-track reanalysis may retroactively change the outcome. JMA position advisories are the primary resolution source. If a JMA advisory plots the center on land, the market resolves based on that advisory's wind speed. If no JMA advisory plots the center on land but credible reporting confirms a crossing occurred between discrete advisory fixes, the intensity is taken from the most recently issued JMA advisory prior to the confirmed crossing time. This market resolves "No" if Dolphin makes landfall with the most recent prior JMA advisory showing maximum sustained winds below 105 knots, if Dolphin dissipates without making landfall on any territory, or if no landfall has physically occurred by the close of August 15, 2026.Super Typhoon Dolphin, which peaked at Category 5 intensity with sustained winds near 160 mph (260 km/h) in late July far from land in the western North Pacific, has already made landfall along China's eastern coast northeast of Wenzhou on August 9 as a remnant low with maximum winds of roughly 55 km/h. Official tracking from the Joint Typhoon Warning Center and Japan Meteorological Agency shows rapid weakening over the open ocean due to increasing wind shear, cooler sea-surface temperatures, and drier air entrainment, dropping the system below typhoon strength well before any coastal approach. With landfall completed and the circulation now dissipating over rugged inland terrain, the market-implied 100% probability on "No" reflects confirmed observational data rather than forecast uncertainty. No realistic late-stage reintensification scenarios remain viable given the post-landfall environment.
