Morocco is set to endure a new heatwave from Tuesday to Friday, driven by the Saharan thermal depression expanding toward central and southeastern regions, according to Hussein Youabed from the national meteorological authority. 

The heat will intensify starting Monday, with inland temperatures reaching 40–45°C in the southeast and eastern Saharan provinces, and 35–40°C across other interior areas. Coastal zones will remain relatively cooler, between 22–28°C.

Unstable weather is also forecast, with localized thunderstorms expected in mountainous and southeastern regions. 

Dense low clouds and morning fog will affect northern and central coasts, while gusty winds and dust storms may reduce visibility in southern and southeastern areas.

 Wednesday is expected to mark the peak of the heatwave, extending to Tadla, Rahamna, Saïs, Souss, and much of the south.

A slight temperature drop is forecast from Thursday, though the southeast and some inland zones will remain hot. 

Authorities urge citizens to avoid sun exposure during peak hours, stay hydrated, wear light clothing, and take special care of children, the elderly, and vulnerable individuals.
