The General Directorate of Meteorology announcedMorocco will experience a new heatwave, with temperatures ranging from 34 to 40 degrees from Tuesday to next Friday in a number of regions, with winds in some areas.
“From Tuesday until the end of this week, temperatures will gradually and significantly increase in the south and center of the country,” said Al Hussein Youabd, communication officer at the General Directorate of Meteorology.
“Temperatures are expected to exceed their seasonal average by 5 to 9 degrees, with a heat wave recorded from Wednesday to Friday, especially in the southern and central regions, as well as in some areas and the inner Atlantic plains of the north of the country, especially inside our southern provinces, Souss, Tadla plains, Al Haouz, Rahamna and Tansifte, as well as the interior regions of Chiadama, Abda, Doukala and Chaouia, where temperatures are expected to range between 33 and 40 degrees,” Youabd added, in a statement to Hespress.
The spokesman attributed the matter to “the concentration of an air high in the western Mediterranean, directing eastern winds towards the south and center of the country, contributing to the rise of hot and dry air masses from the Sahara Desert towards the south, center and southeast of the country, a phenomenon popularly called ‘Chergui’.”
he added: “This phenomenon will be accompanied by strong wind gusts, with dust sometimes blowing in the south, southeast and southern regions of the east of the country, as well as some central regions.”
Temperatures between 36 and 40 degrees are expected to be recorded in the same period in Inezgane, Ait Melloul, Agadir Edaoutnan, Chetouka Ait Baha, Sidi Ifni, Tantan, Laayoune, Tarfaya, Boujdour, Awsard and Wadi al-Dahab.
Temperatures between 34 and 38 degrees are expected to be recorded from Tuesday to Friday, in the provinces of Faqih Ben Saleh, Azilal, Beni Mellal, Sidi Bennour, Settat, Al Haouz, Chichaoua, Kalaat Saraghna, Essaouira, Marrakech, Rahamna, Asfi and Youssoufia, the Directorate General of Meteorology announced.
