wetter

“Importantly, the new findings suggest a wetter and potentially more habitable past for Mars because ferrihydrite forms in the presence of cool water, and at lower temperatures than other previously considered minerals, like hematite.”

The amount used can vary considerably depending on a number of factors including the surrounding environment; sites in colder, wetter parts of the world tend to require less.

The Met Office said 2024 was the fourth warmest on record, and has previously predicted climate change would cause summers to be up to 60% drier and winters to be warmer and wetter.

Bills were kept too low for too long which hampered investment in the aging infrastructure that is now being overwhelmed by a wetter climate.

The stormier, wetter and milder than average weather we are expecting in February is likely to persist into March, which meteorologists consider to be the start of spring.
