I wonder how much warmer it would feel in the sun that those temperatures suggest? The UV is much higher, but the sun is much further away. Anybody know anything how strong the winds are on Mars?
The record high of that place is also impressively high compared to the average for somewhere near the equator.

Martian air pressure is much lower than the one we are used to, in the order of 10 mbar, with so little air my impression is that martian winds probably are not so strong.
The low pressure would change a lot of things, apart wind it will probably change temperature perception itself and many other stuffs. If only we could stand on Mars without a spacesuit, of course.
The pressure of Titan is even heavier than the pressure of Earth. It seems to have an amazing atmosphere
I agree
Exoplanet weather would be far more interesting. Imagine 50 °C high with a -50 °C low where that exoplanet's "day" lasts 10 Earth days, plus breathable atmosphere BUT with a level of nitrogen that would cause a mild narcosis awesome! There are just so many possibilities
Yeah those nights ruin the fun Still funny though how the location actually has a warmer all-time record high than Cape Lopatka, Russian Far East, on the continent at 50.87 (!) N.

I think the winds can be hundreds of miles per hour in the worst dust storms, but they have less force than winds at the same speed on Earth for the reasons you mentioned.
