Weather Update: Heat and Thunderstorms Expected in Morocco
On Wednesday, parts of Morocco will experience hot weather, thunderstorms, and strong winds, as indicated by the General Directorate of Meteorology. The forecast predicts a range of weather conditions across different regions, highlighting the diversity of Morocco's climate.
Temperatures are expected to be relatively hot to hot in various areas, including Loukkos, Gharb, the northern and central interior plains, inland Souss, the Saiss region, the southern Oriental area, the southeast, and the interior of the southern provinces. Thunderstorms are anticipated over the Middle Atlas, the northern Oriental region, and the far southern Saharan provinces, with lighter thundery showers also possibly affecting the phosphate plateau, High Atlas, and southeastern regions.
In the early hours and overnight, low clouds accompanied by fog or light local drizzle are expected along the Atlantic and Mediterranean coasts. Temperature variations will be notable, with minimum temperatures predicted to range from 25 to 32 degrees Celsius in the southeast, Saiss, inland Souss, and the eastern and southern parts of the Saharan provinces. Conversely, lower temperatures between 15 and 21 degrees Celsius are forecast in the Atlas and Rif mountains and near coastal areas, while other regions will see general temperatures ranging from 21 to 25 degrees Celsius.
As the day progresses, daytime temperatures are set to rise in Gharb, Loukkos, the interior plains, Chiadma, inland Souss, the Rif, the northern Oriental region, and the Saharan provinces. However, temperatures in other areas may experience a slight decrease or remain stable. Additionally, moderately strong winds are expected in the Tangier region and the southern provinces, potentially stirring up dust and sand in localized areas.
Sea conditions will vary, with calm to slightly rough seas in the Mediterranean and slightly rough to rough conditions in the Strait of Gibraltar and along the Atlantic coast. It is important to note that conditions could temporarily escalate to rough or very rough along the central Atlantic coast early Wednesday, warranting caution for maritime activities.
