Copper vessels get covered with a green coating in the rainy season because when copper is exposed to air in rainy season, the metal reacts with moisture and atmospheric gases to form basic copper carbonate.

Basic copper carbonate=Cu2CO3(OH)2(green in colour)Cu(s)+CO2(g)+O2(g)(moist air)+H2O(l)CuCO3Cu(OH)2
