The weather in Morocco is expected to stabilize after the stormy rain showers that hit different parts of the country over the weekend, which led to floods and numerous interruptions to locals’ daly lives.
“As of this afternoon, the weather will begin to stabilize, as there are no new conditions that require warning, with cold weather during the morning and night in the highlands and eastern highlands, accompanied by a gradual rise in temperatures,” said El Hussein Youabd, communication officer at the General Directorate of Meteorology.
Youabd explained, in a statement to Hespress, that while Monday will see residual rain on the Middle Atlas and sometimes on the northern and central plains, the countryside and the northeast; the weather will stabilize in the rest of the regions.
“The weather will be relatively cold on the Atlas and rural areas at night with local fog forming on the central plains and northern southern provinces.”
As for Tuesday, Youabd said that the weather will be stable and relatively cold on the eastern highlands, the Atlas regions and the countryside, in the morning and during the night, with fog forming in the morning and night on the northern and central plains and the north of the southern provinces.
The communication officer at the General Directorate of Meteorology pointed out that temperatures will gradually rise with relatively hot weather in the interior of the southern provinces and the far southeast of the country.
The General Directorate of Meteorology had issued a warning bulletin with a red alert level, regarding very strong rainfall, locally thunderstorms, ranging from 80 to 120 mm, expected in the provinces of Chefchaouen, Tetouan, Larache, Al Hoceima and Tangier-Asilah; starting from 11:30 pm on Saturday until midnight on Sunday.
After this weekend, northern and eastern provinces were flooded, leading to the suspension of classes in a number of villages and remote areas, but classes gradually resumed on Monday.
The provinces of Tetouan, Chefchaouen and Al Hoceima had witnessed the suspension of classes in a number of schools located in remote areas in the three provinces, but the province of Tetouan, which witnessed heavy rainfall, experienced floods and torrential rains that caused serious damage to infrastructure.

Tetouan local authorities announced they had managed to limit the effects of the floods, announcing in a statement that the city has managed to re-establish normalcy.
The Tetouan Regional Municipality has successfully cleared piles of mud and dust surrounding houses and accumulated in roads and streets, and reported no infrastructure failings.
