Over the past weekend and early this week, Morocco experienced a notable rise in temperatures, particularly in the southern and central regions, as well as the interior plains.
Hussein Youabed, a communication officer at the General Directorate of Meteorology, reported that temperatures have exceeded seasonal averages by 3 to 5 degrees Celsius.
Youabed attributed this increase to the influence of the Assyrian high, which brought stable and sunny weather conditions. He noted that the lack of cloud cover allowed for direct solar radiation, further heating the earth’s surface.
In addition, an eastern air current introduced hot and dry air masses, contributing to the elevated temperatures.
Looking ahead, Youabed indicated that high temperatures are expected to persist, particularly on Wednesday in areas west of the High Atlas, the southeast, and the interior of Souss. However, temperatures are anticipated to decrease on Thursday and Friday in other regions.
On Wednesday, significant temperature increases are expected, especially in the plains west of the High Atlas and the far southeast. Light rain showers may occur in the Atlas Highlands and the southern eastern region, along with localized fog on the northern Atlantic coasts. Winds are expected to strengthen, potentially causing localized sandstorms in desert areas.
For Thursday, Youabed forecasted partly cloudy skies in the northwest, with sporadic rain expected in the northern plains and the Sais region. While temperatures will remain high in the southeast and southern provinces, a noticeable drop is anticipated in other areas.
By Friday, the weather will shift again, with clouds and scattered rain expected along the Atlantic coasts between Tangier and Safi. A further decline in temperatures is anticipated across most regions, along with the possibility of local thunderstorms in the far south.
As conditions evolve, residents are advised to stay informed and prepare for fluctuating weather patterns.
