The General Directorate of Meteorology predicts that today, **Wednesday, September 2, 2026**, the weather will be characterized by relatively hot to hot conditions across vast areas of the kingdom, coinciding with **thunderstorm showers** in several mountainous, eastern, and southern regions.

Hot weather will encompass the regions of Loukkos, the West, northern and central inland plains, as well as areas within Souss, Saïs, the southern part of the eastern region, southeast, and the interior of desert provinces. The temperature is expected to peak at **45 degrees Celsius in both Marrakech and Oussard**, with **44 degrees in Meknes** and **43 degrees in Beni Mellal, Fes, and Taounate**.

Thunderstorms Expected in the Atlas and Eastern Regions

Thunderstorm showers are anticipated over the **Middle Atlas, northern eastern region, and the extreme southern parts of the desert provinces**. Additionally, light thunderstorm rain is expected over the phosphate plateaus, the High Atlas, and the southeastern areas. Thus, Wednesday's weather will combine **intense heat in several plains and inland areas with local atmospheric instability that may accompany thunder**.

Fog and Light Rain on the Coasts

During the night and morning, low clouds will form over the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean coasts. These clouds may also be accompanied by local fog or **very light rain**. Conversely, temperatures will be higher in areas far from marine influences, particularly in the inland plains. On another note, there will be relatively strong wind gusts in the Tangier region and the desert provinces, which may also carry **dust particles** in the desert areas. Daily temperatures will rise in the West, Loukkos, and inland plains, as well as in Chaouia, Souss, Rif, the northern eastern region, and desert provinces. However, temperatures may slightly decrease or remain stable in other areas.

In particular, **Marrakech and Oussard** will top the list with **45 degrees**, followed closely by **Meknes at 44 degrees**, and **Beni Mellal, Fes, and Taounate** each reaching **43 degrees**. Temperatures will reach **42 degrees in Khouribga** and **40 degrees in Smara**. Elevated temperatures will also be noted in Kenitra, reaching **39 degrees**, the same temperature expected in Rachidia and Ouarzazate. Coastal areas will experience milder temperatures, with highs not exceeding **25 degrees in Ceuta and Agadir**, **26 degrees in Melilla**, and **27 degrees in Essaouira**.
