Trader consensus on Polymarket strongly favors no hurricane landfall in the continental U.S. by May 31, with "No" at a market-implied 94.3% probability, reflecting the climatological near-impossibility of such an event before the official Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) reports no tropical cyclones active as of March 28, with Tropical Weather Outlook issuance paused until May 15 or earlier if needed; sea surface temperatures remain below the 26.5°C threshold for hurricane formation, compounded by high vertical wind shear and dry mid-level air suppressing development. No U.S. hurricane landfalls (Saffir-Simpson Category 1+ with sustained winds of 74 mph or higher) have occurred before June since records began in 1851. While an unprecedented surge in Gulf or Caribbean SSTs and shear collapse could theoretically enable a rapid-intensifying system steered toward the coast, such conditions have never materialized this early, sustaining trader conviction absent new NHC advisories.

Will a hurricane make landfall in the US by May 31?
This market may only resolve to "No" after May 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET if the conditions for a "Yes" resolution have not been met.
For the purpose of this market, a hurricane landfall is said to occur when a hurricane's surface center intersects with the coastline, as described at https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutgloss.shtml#LANDFALL , and the NHC officially reports that the storm has maximum sustained winds of 74 mph or higher at the time of landfall.
This market will resolve based on an initial advisory released by the NHC that a hurricane has made landfall within the conterminous United States within the market timeframe regardless of any later retraction or analysis that may contradict the initial announcement.
