Polymarket Weather Scanner

Weather forecast analysis for Polymarket prediction markets. Find edge in temperature betting markets using 9-model ensemble forecasts (GFS, ECMWF, GraphCast). Detect mispriced weather contracts and identify profitable trading opportunities.

Find profitable opportunities in Polymarket temperature markets using multi-model ensemble weather forecasts.

Works out of the box -- no API key needed for free tier (3 cities, 5 scans/day). Just install and run /scan.

What this skill does

• Aggregates forecasts from up to 9 weather models: GFS, ECMWF, JMA, GEM, MeteoFrance, UKMO, ICON, ARPEGE, GraphCast
• Cross-validates with NWS (National Weather Service) official forecasts
• Compares forecast probabilities against live Polymarket temperature market prices
• Detects markets where the forecast disagrees with the market price (positive edge)
• Reports confidence tiers based on model agreement: LOCK (all agree) / STRONG / SAFE / NEAR_SAFE
• Covers 16 cities worldwide: NYC, Chicago, Miami, Dallas, Atlanta, Seattle, Toronto, London, Paris, Munich, Seoul, Ankara, Wellington, Lucknow, Buenos Aires, Sao Paulo

Quick Start

Install the skill, then:

/scan

That's it. No setup needed for free tier.

For full access (all 16 cities, 100 scans/day), get a free API key:

curl -X POST https://polymarket-scanner.fly.dev/keys/free

Then set: export POLYMARKET_SCANNER_API_KEY="pm_your_key_here"

Commands

/scan - Scan for mispriced markets

Scan all active weather temperature markets for profitable opportunities.

When the user asks to scan weather markets, find opportunities, check for edge, or look for Polymarket trades, run:

bash

bash {baseDir}/scripts/scan.sh

Optional: pass number of days ahead to scan (default: 1). Example: bash {baseDir}/scripts/scan.sh 3

Display results as a table showing: city, date, forecast temp, confidence tier, edge %, and market cost.

/forecast <city> - Get ensemble forecast

Get the multi-model ensemble weather forecast for a specific city.

When the user asks for a weather forecast, temperature prediction, or model comparison, run:

bash

bash {baseDir}/scripts/forecast.sh "<city>" "<date>"

Where <city> is one of: nyc, chicago, miami, dallas, atlanta, seattle, toronto, london, paris, munich, seoul, ankara, wellington, lucknow, buenos-aires, sao-paulo.

And <date> is optional, in YYYY-MM-DD format (defaults to tomorrow).

Display the forecast showing: high temperature, standard deviation, number of models used, and individual model predictions.

/cities - List available cities

Show which cities are available for scanning based on your tier.

bash

bash {baseDir}/scripts/cities.sh

/tiers - Show subscription plans

Display available subscription tiers and pricing.

Use Cases

• Prediction market traders: Find temperature markets where the crowd is wrong
• Weather enthusiasts: Compare multiple global weather models side-by-side
• Quantitative analysts: Access ensemble forecast data with standard deviation and model agreement metrics
• Arbitrage hunters: Detect when forecast probability diverges from market price

How It Works

1. Fetches forecasts from multiple independent weather models via Open-Meteo API
2. Calculates ensemble high temperature and standard deviation across models
3. Maps temperature to Polymarket range probabilities (e.g., "NYC high temp 60-69F")
4. Compares forecast probability vs market price for each range
5. Flags ranges where forecast probability exceeds market price (positive edge)
6. Rates confidence based on how many models agree
