Morocco Braces for Chilly Weather and Regional Temperature Variations
Morocco Weather Forecast: A Crisp Friday Ahead
Get ready for a refreshing Friday across Morocco, as the Directorate General of Meteorology (DGM) predicts a mix of clear skies and forecast-across-morocco/” title=”Scattered Showers Expected Across These Regions of Morocco”>chilly temperatures. While the far northwest might experience some cloud cover, the rest of the country can expect predominantly clear and calm conditions. However, don’t let the sunshine fool you – pack a warm layer, as temperatures are set to dip, especially during the nighttime and early morning hours.
Regional Breakdown: Where to Expect the Coldest Temperatures
The DGM has issued a specific warning for frost (“جريحة” in Arabic) in several regions. Mountainous areas like the Rif, Atlas, and High Eastern Plateaus, as well as the southeastern parts of the country and inland plains, will experience the most significant drop in temperature. These areas should prepare for overnight lows ranging from a biting -6°C to 0°C (21°F to 32°F).
The western plains, including areas west of the Atlas Mountains, the phosphate and Ouarzazate plateaus, and the remaining eastern regions, can expect slightly milder temperatures, hovering between -1°C and 4°C (30°F to 39°F). Coastal regions along the central and southern coast will enjoy comparatively warmer temperatures, ranging from 12°C to 15°C (54°F to 59°F). The rest of Morocco will see lows between 6°C and 10°C (43°F to 50°F).
While overnight temperatures are expected to be low, the DGM forecasts a slight rise in daytime temperatures. This diurnal temperature variation is typical for Morocco’s climate, particularly during the colder months. (For more information on Morocco’s diverse climate, see slightly choppy. However, those venturing out along the Atlantic coast should be prepared for slightly choppier to rougher seas. Always check local marine forecasts before engaging in any water activities.

Preparing for the Cold: Tips for Staying Warm
With these chilly temperatures expected, it’s a good idea to take some precautions to stay warm and comfortable:
Layer up: Wearing multiple layers of clothing traps warm air and provides better insulation than a single heavy garment.
Protect extremities: Don’t forget hats, gloves, and scarves to keep your head, hands, and neck warm.
Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of fluids helps regulate body temperature and prevents dehydration, which can exacerbate the effects of cold weather.
Check heating systems: Ensure your home heating system is functioning correctly and efficiently.
Monitor weather updates: Stay informed about any changes in the forecast by checking the DGM website or other reliable weather sources.
