Since the water never left the planet and it just evaporated into the atmosphere, it means its always been there but Mikros is usually never cool enough for the water vapor to condense. However at this time once a year the temperature is cool enough for water (condenses at 0 deg. Celsius) and sulfuric acid (below 175 o C). The surface temperature is also cool enough so that the liquid doesn't instantly evaporate.
