The first weather forecast from Mars is in — it will be brutally cold with the chance of a dust storm. NASA scientists shared details of the meteorological outlook that was taken on the Red Planet by the Perseverance rover.

The rover’s Mars Environment Dynamics Analyzer system first turned on for about 30 minutes on Feb. 19, a day after making landfall on the planet’s Jezero Crater.

The weather report was sent back to earth later that day, NASA said Tuesday.
============================================================================================
It was 4 degrees Fahrenheit when MEDA started recording, but the temperature dropped to -14 within a half hour, according to NASA.

Almost balmy when compared to places on this planet like Antarctica.
