The planet Vulcan is an arid planet with a relatively thin atmosphere and little atmospheric moisture. Millions of years ago, the planet had much more oxygen and water in its atmosphere, and surface water was more common. As the planet dried out, the climate stabilized into a fairly uniform temperature range with little seasonal variation. Although the weather of Vulcan is not nearly as diverse as that of other planets, it is still possible to experience some precipitation, violent wind and sand storms, and electrical activity. Since becoming a highly technical race, the Vulcans no longer have to worry about the scarce natural water resources which caused more than one catastrophic war in the their past. Water is freely available now through atmospheric engineering, chemical manufacture or replication. As they explored other planets, they expanded their scientific terminology to include many things that may no longer occur on Vulcan.
