Results Sep 24🤖 Context
The market required a public advisory covering 06:00 (UTC−6) on 24 September 2026 to explicitly list Hurricane Polo as Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale. The U.S. National Hurricane Center issued Discussion Number 15 on 24 September 2026 and explicitly described Polo as a powerful Category 5 hurricane, giving an initial intensity of 140 kt / 160 mph (about 260 km/h). That advisory meets the rule, so the market resolves yes.

Final crowd probability
The crowd was 71% sure, and they nailed it.
Why: The National Hurricane Center (NHC) — the authoritative classifier — explicitly reported Polo as a Category 5 hurricane on 2026-09-24 (Discussion Number 15: "Polo remains a powerful category 5 hurricane", INIT 24/0900Z 140 kt / 160 mph). Independent outlets (Watchers, SeaNavigator/Weathernews) reporting on the same NHC advisories likewise describe Polo on 24 Sep as a Category 5 with ~260 km/h (160 mph) winds. NHC forecast positions in the same advisory keep Polo at major/Category‑5 intensities later on 24 Sep, so the contemporaneous NHC observation and the corroborating independent reports establish that at 2026-09-24T06:00:00‑06:00 (12:00 UTC) Polo was classified as Category 5 on the Saffir–Simpson scale.

Given the timing and current forecasts, it's unlikely Polo hits Category 5 by this morning. The agencies are not suggesting such intensity, so I'm betting against it.
