The pricing of degree‐day weather options [PDF]
This paper presents a model and framework for pricing degree‐day weather derivatives when the weather variable is a non‐traded asset. Using daily weather data from 1840S1996, it is shown that a degree‐day weather index exhibits stable volatility and satisfies the random walk hypothesis.

The melting of snow and ice is assumed to be related to air temperature as long as air temperature is above a critical threshold, usually close to the melting point of ice. In particular, the amount of snow or ice melted at a certain place, during a certain period, is assumed proportional to the sum of positive temperatures (on the Celsius scale) at ...
