Morocco Braces for Chilly Friday with Frost Expected in Mountainous Regions
Get ready for a cool down! Morocco is expected to experience a drop in temperatures this Friday, November 1st, 2024, with the possibility of frost forming in the Atlas Mountains. The Directorate General of Meteorology (DMN) has issued a forecast predicting a mix of low clouds, fog, and even a chance of drizzle in some areas.

While coastal areas will remain relatively mild, inland regions, particularly those at higher elevations, will feel the chill. The DMN advises residents to be prepared for these changing conditions.

Atlas Mountains: Expect significantly colder temperatures, with lows dipping between 0°C and 6°C (32°F and 43°F).

Consider packing extra layers, including thermal underwear, hats, gloves, and scarves. Check local weather updates before heading out, as conditions can change rapidly in mountainous terrain.

Drivers should exercise caution and be prepared for slower travel times. The coastal areas will experience milder temperatures compared to the inland regions.
Tangier, Rif, Middle Atlas, and Central Coast: These areas might see some scattered showers or drizzle. While not expected to be heavy rainfall, it’s a good idea to have an umbrella handy if you’re in these regions.
Eastern Region and Northern Sahara: Similar to the northern and central plains, these areas are also expected to experience low clouds and fog.
Southern Sahara: Temperatures in the southern Sahara will remain relatively warm, with lows ranging between 14°C and 22°C (57°F and 72°F).
Rest of the Country: Expect temperatures to fall between 7°C and 13°C (45°F and 55°F) in most other areas of Morocco.
