The Moroccan General Directorate of Meteorology has issued an official heatwave alert for several provinces, forecasting extreme temperatures ranging from 38°C to 42°C from Tuesday, May 27 to Friday, May 30.

Affected areas include Chichaoua, Marrakech, Rehamna, Khemisset, Youssoufia, Beni Mellal, Fquih Ben Salah, Oued Ed-Dahab, Assa-Zag, Es-Smara, Tata, Taroudant, Sidi Kacem, Sidi Slimane, Settat, and Kalaat Sraghna.

The national weather authority urged citizens to take precautionary measures during this period—stay hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, especially during peak hours, and limit strenuous outdoor activity.

The warning comes as Morocco enters a seasonal heat cycle, with southern and inland regions particularly vulnerable to health risks and water shortages. Authorities continue to monitor conditions and recommend following regular updates through official channels.

This is the second high-temperature event of the season, underscoring growing concerns around climate resilience and heat preparedness in Morocco’s interior and southern provinces.
