The General Directorate of Meteorology reported that temperatures are expected to experience a significant increase starting Friday, surpassing the monthly average by 5 to 8 degrees, due to the arrival of hot and dry air masses from the Sahara Desert.

The DGM explained in a statement that this heatwave, which will last until next Tuesday, will affect most parts of the country, especially the regions of Saiss, Loukkos, the Gharb, the Rif, the Phosphate Plateau, Oulmes, the M’zab, the Tadla Plains, Al Haouz, Rehamna, and Tensift, in addition to the southeastern and southern regions, Souss, and the southern areas.

This heatwave will extend over the weekend to the plains and the northern and central Atlantic coasts.

According to the DGM, maximum temperatures will range between 40 and 45 degrees in the inland plains and the south and southeast of the country, and between 37 and 42 degrees in Loukkos, the Gharb, Chaouia, Abda, Chichaoua, and the central Atlantic coasts, while they will range between 34 and 37 degrees in the northern Atlantic coasts.

The same source also pointed out that temperatures are expected to exceed these figures, especially in Souss and the inland plains.
