Morocco Braces for a Mixed Bag of Weather: Heat, Thunderstorms, and Coastal Winds
Get ready for a dynamic morocco-unemployment-rate-highest-since-2001/” title=”Morocco's Unemployment Rate Soars to 20-Year High”>weather day in Morocco! The country’s meteorological agency forecasts a diverse range of conditions across different regions.
As the sun rises, those along the northern and central coasts, as well as the Mediterranean facade, can expect a blanket of low-lying clouds and patches of fog. This atmospheric phenomenon is expected to linger through the morning hours.
Meanwhile, inland areas will experience a surge in temperatures. The plains west of the Atlas Mountains, the Saiss region, the Sahara Desert, the Souss-Massa region, and the southeastern parts of the country are all predicted to experience hot to very hot weather.
But the heat won’t be the only story. The Middle Atlas Mountains and their surrounding areas, along with the eastern regions, might see some relief in the form of scattered showers or even thunderstorms.
For those seeking clearer skies, the High and Middle Atlas Mountains and their neighboring areas, the southeast, and the extreme south of the country are your best bets. These regions can expect partly cloudy to occasionally cloudy skies.
Wind enthusiasts, take note! The south and southeast of the country will experience relatively strong winds, potentially accompanied by dust in some areas.
Here’s a closer look at the expected temperature ranges:
Warmest: 25-30°C (77-86°F) in the plains west of the Atlas Mountains, the southeast, and the eastern Sahara Desert.
Mildest: 15-20°C (59-68°F) in the High and Middle Atlas Mountains, the northern and central plains, and the interior of the southern regions.
Moderate: 20-24°C (68-75°F) in the remaining parts of the country.
And for those planning coastal activities:
Mediterranean Coast: Calm to slightly choppy waters.
Strait of Gibraltar: Slightly choppy to choppy waters.
South of Dakhla: Slightly choppy to choppy waters, with a possibility of rough to very rough seas early in the morning.
Remember to stay hydrated, especially if you’re venturing into the hotter regions. And if you find yourself caught in a sudden downpour, seek shelter and wait for the storm to pass.
