During this time, temperatures are projected to soar between 42 and 45 degrees Celsius, particularly affecting regions such as Oued Ed-Dahab, Es-Semara, Errachidia, and several others, including major cities like Marrakech and Fez. This alarming situation has prompted the DGM to classify the weather alert at an orange level, indicating a significant risk to public health and safety.
In addition to the extreme heat, the DGM anticipates the occurrence of thundery showers accompanied by hail and strong winds, which will impact various provinces. Specifically, areas like Oued Ed-Dahab and Aousserd will experience these tumultuous weather conditions starting Thursday at 3:00 PM, continuing until Friday morning at 6:00 AM, with rainfall expected to reach between 20 to 40 mm.
