Morocco Braces for Widespread Thunderstorms and Snow
Get ready for a dramatic shift in weather, Morocco! The country is bracing for a wave of thunderstorms and snow across various regions. The Directorate General of Meteorology predicts a Tuesday filled with heavy rain and potential thunderstorms, particularly in the High and Middle Atlas Mountains and their surrounding western areas.
This intense weather system won’t be limited to the mountains. The southeastern slopes, along with regions like Chaouia, Doukkala, Abda, Chiadma, and the phosphate and Oulmes plateaus, can expect a good soaking. The rain will also reach further south to the Souss region and north to Tangier, with the western Rif and Loukkos regions also in its path.
Even areas not directly in the storm’s path might see some precipitation. Light and scattered showers are expected in the southeast, the Saiss region, and the eastern part of the country.
This type of weather event is not uncommon in Morocco, especially during the transitional seasons. The country’s diverse geography, ranging from towering mountains to vast plains, plays a significant role in shaping its weather patterns. The interaction of different air masses and the influence of the Mediterranean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean contribute to the dynamic and sometimes unpredictable nature of Moroccan weather.
What does this mean for you? If you’re planning any travel or outdoor activities, it’s crucial to stay updated on the latest weather forecasts and advisories. Be prepared for potential travel disruptions, especially in mountainous areas where snow accumulation could make roads impassable.
Remember, safety first! Stay informed and make responsible decisions based on the evolving weather conditions. (function(d, s, id){
