Morocco’s General Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) warned Saturday of a heat wave expected to affect several provinces and prefectures across the Kingdom, with temperatures forecast to remain unusually high through the weekend.
In an updated orange-level weather alert, the DGM said temperatures could reach between 44°C and 47°C in the provinces of Taroudant, Zagora, Tata, Assa-Zag, Smara, Boujdour, Oued Ed-Dahab and Aousserd.
The heat wave is expected to persist in these areas through Sunday, according to the meteorological agency.
The DGM also forecast extreme temperatures in Beni Mellal, Fquih Ben Salah and Kelaat Sraghna on Saturday, with maximum temperatures expected to range between 42°C and 44°C.
The warning comes amid a broader period of elevated temperatures across Morocco, prompting the meteorological agency to urge residents to exercise caution, particularly during periods when temperatures and other weather conditions are at their most intense.
The DGM advised the public to remain vigilant and follow official weather updates as conditions develop.
