Every Summer and Winter the market makers at Sporting Index offer us the chance to predict which will be the hottest day of Summer and the coldest day of Winter!
This year's Winter spread can be located on the Sporting Index website under the section heading 'Weather Specials'.
There are two spreads available, the first is the Coldest Uk Winter Temperature (C), the current spread for which is -14.75 to -14 degrees. This seems a little on the low side, considering these days of global warming and greenhouse gases in abundance!
The second spread is a tad more interesting, you have to predict when the coldest day will occur! This is done by assuming that Dec 1st is day one and Feb 28th is day ninety, the current quote for for this spread is 48-51. This quote assumes that the coldest period of this winter will be some time around the 20th of January.
You'll have to be quick though, because this particular market is only available until 1st Dec and is not traded in running -so it will keep you looking at the thermometer throughout the winter!
