After a recent rise in temperatures, Morocco is bracing for a significant change in weather, with forecasts of cold conditions and rain showers across several regions. Hussein Youabed, communication officer at the General Directorate of Meteorology, announced that this volatile weather pattern is expected to persist until the middle of next week.
“The approach of an air depression, coupled with cold air masses in the upper atmosphere, will trigger a change in weather conditions starting this afternoon and continuing through the weekend,” Youabed stated.
For Saturday, the forecast predicts dense cloud cover with rain or localized thunderstorms, particularly in the northern and central plains. These showers are expected to extend overnight into the High and Middle Atlas regions, as well as the western plains, countryside, Mediterranean coasts, Souss, and northern desert provinces. Meanwhile, skies in the eastern and southeastern regions will remain partly cloudy.
Winds are anticipated to be relatively strong in the east, central plains, southeast, and desert areas, with the potential for sandstorms. Maximum temperatures are projected to range from 34 to 40 degrees Celsius in the southeast and desert regions, while temperatures in the east and central plains are expected to be between 28 and 33 degrees Celsius. The remainder of the country will see highs of 22 to 27 degrees Celsius.
Looking ahead to Sunday, turbulent weather will continue, with rain and thunderstorms likely in the Atlas regions and adjacent western plains, extending to the southeast, Souss, northern and central plains, and other elevated areas. Winds may remain strong, particularly in the east and Middle Atlas, with the possibility of sandstorms in some areas.
By Monday, conditions are expected to be variable, with further rain and thunderstorms in the Atlas, southeast, and other plains. Light rain is also possible in northern desert provinces, and some snowfall may occur in the peaks of the High Atlas, as temperatures continue to decline.
