Moroccans can expect a particularly dynamic August, with significant weather changes anticipated in the latter half of the month. According to the latest forecasts from the Meteorology Directorate General (DGM), the beginning of the week will see a range of climatic phenomena affecting several regions of the kingdom.
For Monday, the forecast predicts dense cloud cover over the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean coasts, with localized fog likely, particularly in the morning. In contrast, southeastern regions, the Tadla plains, the Saïs, and the Moulouya Valley will experience generally warm conditions. Minimum temperatures in these areas will range from 25 to 30 degrees Celsius.
Coastal and mountainous areas will see minimum temperatures between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius, while the rest of the country will experience temperatures between 21 and 25 degrees Celsius. The Atlas Mountains, southeastern regions, and the southern parts of the eastern region will have mostly clear to partly cloudy skies.
Strong gusts of wind are expected in the southern regions and the Atlas Mountains. The sea will be calm along the Mediterranean coast but will range from calm to slightly rough in the Strait and between Tangier and Asilah, and rough between Casablanca and Tan Tan.
August is shaping up to be an especially unsettled month for Morocco, with significant weather changes predicted over the next two weeks. The DGM forecasts increased atmospheric instability, particularly in the southern regions, inland areas, and the Atlas Mountains, as well as in the southeastern part of the country.
This instability will be driven by an influx of tropical moisture carried by trade winds to the affected regions. This influx is expected to increase precipitation and the risk of electrical storms, particularly in the late afternoon and evening.
The increased moisture could lead to more frequent and intense thunderstorms, especially in vulnerable areas such as the south, inland regions, and the Atlas Mountains. Residents should be prepared for unstable weather conditions and potential thunderstorms, especially during the hottest parts of the day.
The public is advised to stay informed about weather updates and prepare for potential disruptions caused by heavy rain and electrical storms. Local authorities should remain vigilant to manage possible flooding and other impacts of these extreme weather conditions.
Weather services will continue to monitor the situation and provide regular updates to ensure public safety. While August presents a challenging weather period, proper preparation can help minimize the impact of these climatic changes. Morocco is preparing for a month marked by increased instability and hot weather, underscoring the need for ongoing vigilance and readiness.
