Temperatures in Morocco began to rise this week, exceeding the seasonal average by 3 to 7 degrees, especially in the southern and central regions of the Kingdom.

According to data provided by the Directorate General of Meteorology to Hespress, this sudden rise in temperatures is due to Morocco’s geographical location, and the location of high and low-pressure atmospheric centers.

The DGM noted that during the past few days, the Azores High atmospheric pressure center is located over northwestern Morocco, leading to the formation of eastern current and high temperatures.
