Morocco sits outside all short term climate risk zones identified in the latest Global Weather Hazards Summary for 11 to 17 December, with the western Mediterranean basin showing no warning signals while large areas of East and Southern Africa face severe drought or repeated flooding.
The map, produced by the Famine Early Warning Systems Network and based on data from U.S. climate and space agencies, highlights that the northwest of the continent remains unaffected by the high risk clusters stretching from Somalia to Mozambique.
The report attributes the regional contrasts to weak rainfall at the start of the season in East Africa and to heavy, persistent precipitation in the south, conditions amplified by La Niña patterns shaping rainfall across Africa, Asia and Latin America. While the Mediterranean can be influenced by these shifts, the current forecast window shows no abnormal weather threats over Morocco.
Mapped indicators show severe drought spreading across eastern Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania, and flooding hazards in South Sudan, Zambia and Malawi. By comparison, Northwest Africa falls entirely outside the polygons marking extreme heat, drought or flood risk.
The absence of alerts does not remove Morocco from broader Mediterranean variability, but the report concludes that no short term anomalies warrant classification as a hazard during the reference period.
