>March 2024 was the warmest March on record for the globe in NOAA's 175-year record. The March global surface temperature was 1.35°C (2.43°F) above the 20th-century average of 12.7°C (54.9°F). This is 0.01°C ( °F) warmer than the previous March record set in 2016, and the tenth consecutive month of record-high global temperatures.

Given how close it ended up being, I still think this was overvalued.

Darn, I forgot about this. Would have bought more N shares if I remembered.

Only if I decide to go shirtless this month

For Arb opportunities but note the different temperature dataset.

@ChristopherRandles Polymarket also has a similar question, currently at 47%, but again slightly different resolution criteria. https://polymarket.com/event/will-2024-have-the-hottest-march-on-record/will-2024-have-the-hottest-march-on-record?tid=1710739141534

@MugaSofer The difference in resolution criteria does not seem to explain the difference in price unless I am mistaken?

@rkpold I'm extremely confused by that as well.

nvm

US or global?
