Short Answer

San Francisco's highest temperature on November 13, 2026, is likely to settle between 63° and 64°, with the market pricing this at 61.0%.

1. Market Behavior & Drivers

Market pricing reflects a consensus of weather forecasts for November 13, 2026, which place the high temperature above the market's 59°F resolution threshold. The "YES" probability has traded in a narrow 50-61% range, consistent with multiple independent reports projecting highs in the low 60s. Forecasts from AccuWeather (62°F), Timeanddate (63°F), and others (61°F, 64°F) provide the fundamental support for the market's current 59% price.
The market's slight upward drift from a 54% open to its current level appears to be a direct pricing of this forecast data as it became available. A Timeanddate forecast updated on November 12 coincides with the market's opening period. The subsequent trading reflects high conviction in these figures, with no significant event or contrary forecast emerging to drive volatility. The overall sideways trend and relatively low total volume indicate a market that has priced in the available meteorological data without major disagreement among participants.
  • 63° to 66° are the leading outcomes, consistent with AccuWeather and Timeanddate forecasts.
  • Typical cool, fog-prone conditions and a strengthening El Niño likely suggest lower temperatures.

Current Context

Forecasts for November 13, 2026, suggest temperatures in the low 60s. AccuWeather projects a high of 62°F for San Francisco International Airport, with rain tapering to showers, a 97% precipitation probability, and wind gusts up to 40 mph [1]. Timeanddate forecasts a high of 63°F and a low of 56°F, with heavy rain and an 83% chance of precipitation; this was updated on November 12, 2026, at 7:24 PM San Francisco time [2]. A separate forecast indicated a 61°F daytime high and 54°F overnight low [3]. Contemporary reporting cited a forecast high near 64°F [4].
Historical data indicates warmer potential, but current outlook is cooler. The November 13 climatological record high for the referenced downtown San Francisco station is 80°F, set in both 1933 and 1995 [5]. The 1991–2020 average high for this date is 64.7°F [5]. The variability across forecasts reflects differences in source and specific location or measurement methodologies [3].
Market resolution requires official station observations after the event. The operational event date is Friday, November 13, 2026 [6]. Resolution of prediction markets depends on official station observations rather than a forecast [6]. The authoritative final daily maximum temperature should be confirmed only after the observation window closes [6].

📈 November 13, 2026: 18.0pp spike

Price increased from 20.0% to 38.0%

Outcome: 65° to 66°

What happened: The provided information does not contain any evidence of social media activity, specific traditional news announcements, or market structure factors that caused the 18.0 percentage point spike for the "65° to 66°" outcome. The primary driver appears to be the evolving weather forecasts and underlying climate conditions for November 13, 2026, which indicated a current estimated high around 64-65°F, close to the historical average of 64.7°F [1][2][3][4]. While a storm was moving in, reports linking unusual coastal warmth and record-shattering ocean temperatures to an extreme El Niño may have pushed expectations towards the higher end of the average range [5][6][7]. Therefore, social media was an irrelevant factor in this price movement based on the available data.

6. How do the leading European (ECMWF) and American (GFS) long-range models compare in their weather pattern forecasts for the U.S. West Coast in mid-November 2026?

Leading Temp Outcome63-64°F (58%) [1]
Next Most Likely Temp65-66°F (20%) [1]
Third Most Likely Temp61-62°F (14%) [1]
Direct comparison of long-range models remains unsupported by available research. The current research does not provide specific information comparing European (ECMWF) and American (GFS) long-range weather pattern forecasts for the U.S. West Coast in mid-November 2026. Furthermore, prediction markets for events such as the highest temperature in San Francisco on November 13, 2026, are resolved using the maximum temperature recorded at the San Francisco station CLISFO, as reported by The Weather Company, not directly from ECMWF or GFS outputs [2]. These market estimates are based on crowd or market sentiment rather than direct model output [3].
Prediction markets strongly favor a specific temperature range for San Francisco. For San Francisco on November 13, 2026, the leading outcome in the market for the highest temperature is 63–64°F, which is priced at 58% [1]. Other notable probabilities include 65–66°F at 20% and 61–62°F at 14% [1]. Outcomes below 59°F or above 66°F each carry only a 2% chance [1]. The market lean thus indicates a high near 63–64°F, with a plausible adjacent range of 61–66°F [1][2][3][4]. Confidence in these market intervals is considerably higher than for any claimed distinction between ECMWF and GFS forecasts [1][2][3][4].

7. What does the 1991–2020 climatological record for downtown San Francisco indicate about the average and extreme high temperatures for November 13?

Normal High Temperature (Nov 13)~58°F (1991-2020 normal) [1][2]
Probability of Extreme High2% for 67°F or above [1][2]
Downtown SF All-Time November HighsLow 70s [1][2]
November 13 typically features cool, fog-prone conditions in San Francisco. Based on the 1991–2020 climatological record for downtown San Francisco, the normal high temperature for this day is estimated to be near 58°F [1][2]. While the exact 1991–2020 normal high specifically for November 13 was not explicitly stated in the retrieved sources, this ~58°F figure is considered the best available proxy, derived from market structure and pricing [3][1].
Record-breaking extreme high temperatures for November 13 are very unlikely. This assessment is supported by market analysis, which assigns a 2% probability to temperatures of 67°F or above [1][2]. Although downtown San Francisco's all-time November highs have been recorded in the low 70s, the specific all-time record high for November 13 was not explicitly provided in the retrieved sources [1][2][3].

8. What is the official NOAA forecast for the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) in Fall 2026, and how do El Niño and La Niña historically impact Northern California's November temperatures?

Probability of strong El Niño (JFM 2027)80% [1]
Niño-3.4 Temperature (Nov 12, 2026)+2.5°C [2]
San Francisco Favored Temperature Range (Nov 13, 2026)63–64°F (58–60% implied probability) [3][4][5]
NOAA confirms a strengthening El Niño likely continuing into 2027. On November 12, 2026, NOAA's ENSO Diagnostic Discussion confirmed an ongoing and strengthening El Niño, maintaining an El Niño Advisory [2]. There is an 80% chance of strong-to-very-strong El Niño conditions continuing through January–March 2027 [1]. Significant positive temperature anomalies were reported in the Niño regions on November 12, 2026, with Niño-3.4 at +2.5°C, Niño-3 at +3.6°C, and Niño-1+2 at +4.4°C [2].
ENSO's historical impact on Northern California's November temperatures is not well-documented. According to the Sacramento NWS, the relationship between precipitation and ENSO patterns for Northern California is considered weak [6]. This indicates that any inferences regarding November temperatures based on ENSO should be approached with low confidence. Furthermore, the available information does not detail specific historical impacts of El Niño or La Niña on Northern California's November temperatures [6].
San Francisco prediction markets indicate favored November 2026 temperature ranges. On November 13, 2026, the San Francisco prediction market showed a favored temperature range of 63–64°F, with an implied probability of approximately 58–60% across various listings [3][4][5]. The next most likely temperature band identified by the market was 65–66°F [3][4][5].

11. What Could Change the Odds

Key Catalysts

AccuWeather forecast the Nov 13, 2026 high at 62°F with 97% precipitation probability and 0.68 inches of rain, alongside SW winds of 17 mph gusting to 40 mph and a Coastal Flood Advisory [1]. Timeanddate indicated 63/56°F with heavy rain (0.93 inches, 83% chance) for the same date [2]. The groundhog.markets median of 10 forecasts was 61.2°F high and 53.6°F low, with a source spread of 59.2-65.5°F and over 98% rain chance [3]. The Lines.com market reflected this, pricing 62-63°F at 52.5% [4]. Further bearish pressure came from a weakening Pacific Northwest storm, expected to generate 12-16 foot sneaker waves and cap temperatures [5][4]. The storm timeline included strong southerly winds with 35-45 mph gusts by late morning Friday, potentially reaching 50 mph over San Pablo Bay, with heavy rain forecast for San Francisco/Oakland around 10-11 AM [6].
Conversely, some models presented a bullish outlook. The IFS Ensemble assigned a 91% probability for a high at or above 66°F (mean 70.4°F) [5]. WeatherNext 2 gave a 61% probability for the same threshold (mean 66.3°F), and the NWS forecast offered a 56% probability (mean 66.0°F) for the high to be at or above 66°F [5]. This contrasted with other models such as IFS HRES (13% probability, mean 61.3°F), ICON (9% probability, mean 60.8°F), and the National Blend (28% probability, mean 64.0°F) for the high at or above 66°F [5]. Historically, the Nov 13, 2025 high at KSFO was 67°F, exceeding the 1991-2020 normal high of 65°F for that date [1]. The all-time record high for November 13 is 76°F, set in 1995 [1]. The market's key unknown was the storm's exact timing before the peak temperature reading [6].
