It’s currently a rather brisk -31 °C at Syrtis Major on Mars. Despite the chill, there’s only a light northerly wind of around 5 km/h. However, if you’re driving on Mars today, you might want to be cautious - visibility is extremely low!
This weather report is brought to you by the Mars Explorer Weather Map, NASA’s new dashboard for visualizing atmospheric conditions on Mars.
Since the release of Hint.fm’s Wind Map in 2012, we’ve grown accustomed to seeing animated flow lines depicting real-time weather on Earth. Still, that doesn’t make it any less awe-inspiring to watch wind patterns sweeping across Mars. It’s Mars, for crying out loud!
Before you get too carried away, though, keep in mind that the PSG Mars map is not a real-time weather map. It’s actually a simulation of Martian conditions based on past climate data. Even so, it’s still absolutely incredible.
