Morocco braces for weather swings as heat builds and storm risks rise
Friday 13 June 2025 - 18:03

Morocco is heading into a stretch of volatile weather marked by rising inland temperatures and the risk of afternoon thunderstorms across mountainous and eastern regions. 

Daily highs could exceed 43°C in the southeast and far south by Sunday, with a notable heat spike expected in central plains and parts of the Rif. 

Thunderstorms are likely over the Middle Atlas, eastern highlands, and possibly parts of the Mediterranean basin by the weekend. 

Low clouds, fog, and light drizzle may also affect northern and central coastal areas.

The shifts reflect a typical seasonal transition, said meteorologist Hussein Youabed, warning of increased exposure to hot air masses from the south. Caution is advised during midday hours.
