Are there weather phenomena like rain, snow and wind on Mars?
The atmospheric density of Mars is only about 1% of that of the earth, but it is enough to support hurricanes and big storms that occasionally sweep the world all month. When a big storm comes, it will be accompanied by sandstorms.
Both the north and south poles of Mars have white polar caps, which increase in winter and decrease in summer, which is very similar to the seasonal changes of polar ice sheets on the earth. But the composition of Mars polar cap is not water ice or snow, but solid carbon dioxide or dry ice. However, when the polar cap of Mars expanded, no clouds were observed in the polar regions, that is, there was no rain or snow. It may be that carbon dioxide in the atmosphere of Mars directly condenses at low temperature to form an icy polar cap. In summer, the carbon dioxide in the polar cap directly sublimates into a gaseous state and enters the atmosphere. That is to say, in winter, it may snow in the polar regions of Mars, but because this snow does not come from clouds, it condenses directly from the atmosphere, which is a bit like frost on the earth. At the same time, because the "snow" is too small, the process of snow can not be observed from the earth, only the polar cap is expanding.
In other words, in addition to strong winds, it may snow in the polar regions on Mars. But it won't rain and there won't be clouds.
