The weather in Jezero, Mars, according to the MEDA instrument onboard .

As it appears, the cold temperatures observed last week may have not been due to the cold draft coming down Cannery Passage, nor the openness of the Three Forks plain. This week temperatures reached even lower (as low as -86.7°C) with highs from -25.7 to -13.4°C; air pressure rose to reach 732 Pa, a few sols ago.

@65dBnoise

Atmosphere of Mars is much thinner than Earth's. The average surface pressure is only about 610 pascals (0.088 psi) which is less than 1% of the Earth's value (1 atm defined as 101,325 Pa)

@65dBnoise What's causing the seasonal pressure differentials? There's almost no temperature change and in any case they don't seem correlated.

It must be giant underground pumps from a hidden civilization.
