Since the beginning of the week, various regions in the country have been experiencing a significant rise in temperatures, ranging between 5 and 8 degrees, exceeding their usual averages, which will last until Friday.
“During this week, temperatures are rising significantly in the southern regions of the country, as well as in the internal areas of the central region, due to the activity of the Saharan heat low, which contributes to the rise of hot and dry air masses from the Sahara Desert towards the south, center, and southeast of the country,” said Hussein Youabed, head of communications of the General Directorate of Meteorology.
In a statement to Hespress, Youabed confirmed that the recorded temperatures “will go above their seasonal average by 5 to 8 degrees, especially in the southern regions and some internal plains of the central region.”
The spokesperson pointed out that “the current heatwave is characterized by high temperatures ranging between 40 and 44 degrees Celsius. It started on Tuesday and will persist until Friday in cities such as Assa-Zag, Es-samara, Boujdour, Oued Ed-Dahab, and Aousserd,” adding: “On the other hand, relatively hot weather is expected in the southern and southeastern regions, and locally in the internal central plains.”
According to the head of communications, “maximum temperatures today will range between 20 and 26 degrees Celsius in the Atlas Mountains, Rif Mountains, and coastal areas, and between 33 and 38 degrees Celsius in the southeast and northeast of our southern regions, while they will range between 38 and 43 degrees Celsius in the south of our southern regions, and between 26 and 35 degrees Celsius in the rest of the internal areas.”
A recent report from the European Copernicus Observatory on Wednesday, high temperatures were recorded around the world last April, despite the decline in the phenomenon of El Niño–Southern Oscillation, which contributes to warming, indicating that climate change caused by Human activity exacerbates extreme phenomena.”
