Morocco Braces for a Mix of Heat and Thunderstorms
Get ready for a diverse weather day in Morocco! While some morocco-weather-forecast-friday-august-9-2024/” title=”Morocco Weather Forecast for Friday: Expect Heat, Coastal Fog, and Mountain Showers”>regions bask in the summer heat, others might experience the rumble of thunderstorms.
The Moroccan Directorate General of Meteorology predicts a Monday of varying temperatures across the nation. The Tadla, Rehamna, and southeastern regions, along with the Saharan inland, can expect continued heat, ranging from relatively warm to downright hot.
Meanwhile, coastal areas will wake up to foggy mornings and evenings with low cloud cover. The southern regions, however, should prepare for a more tropical ambiance. Expect to see some impressive cloud formations bringing scattered thunderstorms and a refreshing change of pace.
As is typical for this time of year, the High and Middle Atlas mountain ranges and their eastern slopes will likely experience unstable weather conditions. Be prepared for scattered showers or even thunderstorms throughout the day.
Strong winds are also on the menu for parts of Morocco. The southern regions, the eastern part of the country, and the Middle Atlas mountains might experience particularly strong gusts, potentially leading to localized dust storms.
Let’s talk temperatures! The southeastern regions and the Sahara can expect overnight lows between a balmy 27-33 degrees Celsius (81-91 degrees Fahrenheit). The western plains, central regions, and the Middle Atlas will experience milder temperatures, ranging from 22-28 degrees Celsius (72-82 degrees Fahrenheit). The rest of Morocco will enjoy the coolest temperatures, with lows between 16-23 degrees Celsius (61-73 degrees Fahrenheit). The good news is that daytime highs are expected to be lower than recent days.
And for our seafaring friends… The Mediterranean coast will enjoy calm waters, while the Strait of Gibraltar will see slightly choppier conditions. The Atlantic coast will experience moderate to rough seas, with potentially very rough conditions between Cap Hadid and Cap Ghir.
