Polymarket Denver temperature: settles on KBKF
KBKF is Buckley Space Force Base, Denver. Polymarket settles temperature contracts here. Below: the resolution source each venue names, when the station reports, and how long a reading takes to reach the public feed.
Polymarket uses KBKF (Buckley Space Force Base). Kalshi settles the same city on KDEN (Denver International) instead. The two sites can report different temperatures at the same moment and land in different contract buckets on the same day, so a reading from one tells you nothing definitive about the other.
How it settles
| Venue | Resolution source | Unit | Bucket | Contracts |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Polymarket | NOAA station observations published by weather.gov Source code KBKF. The observation table is the same hourly report stream shown here, so the running high tracks it directly. | Fahrenheit | 2°F | high · lowhighest-temperature-in-denver, lowest-temperature-in-denver |
