Weather on Mars

I had a suggestion to add a link to the weather report on Mars that is being reported by the Canadian weather station on the Phoenix Mars Lander, so here it is:

So far the highest temperature they have recorded is -24°C while the low is usually around -80°C.

The measured surface pressure on Mars is around 0.82 kPa, quite a bit lower than our usual reading of around 100 kPa.

But on the bright side at least it is usually sunny.
