Neptune's atmosphere is notable for its active and visible weather patterns. For example, at the time of the 1989 Voyager 2, the planet's Southern Hemisphere possessed a Great Dark Spot comparable to the Great Red Spot on the planet Jupiter. These weather patterns are driven by the strongest sustained winds of any planet in the Solar System, with recorded wind speeds as high as 2,100 km/h. Because Neptune is far from the Sun, Neptune's outer atmosphere is one of the coldest places in the Solar System, with temperatures approaching at −218 C (55 K).
The big blue spot on Neptune is a massive storm system, similar to Jupiter's Great Red Spot. It is an area of high pressure, resulting in clear skies and a deep blue color due to the presence of methane in the atmosphere. The spot can change in size and shape over time.
A Great Dark Storm,not a Great Red Storm.
I don't think it has a great blue spot. There was a "Great Dark Spot", but I think
it disappeared again. Anyway it was a storm system.
