Will the highest temperature in Seoul (Incheon) be 19°C or below on August 31?
The answer: NO
THE BRIEF, WRITTEN AFTER THE OUTCOME
Seoul exceeded 19°C on 31 Aug, panel largely predicted that and beat the unfrozen crowd price
The outcome was NO, the highest temperature exceeded 19°C. The panel's mean probability for YES was 6%, the crowd's frozen price was 0% (the crowd called it). All 13 models called the outcome correctly by assigning low YES probabilities; Claude Sonnet 4.5, DeepSeek R1 and Gemini 2.5 Pro made the strongest correct calls at 2%. The clearest misses were Mistral Large (15%) and Kimi K2 (22%), which placed the highest weight on YES.
