Morocco Braces for a Wednesday Wash: Rain Returns to Several Regions
Get ready for a change in the weather, Morocco! The country’s meteorological agency, Direction Générale de la Météorologie (DMN), predicts a Wednesday sprinkled with showers across several regions.
As the day progresses, light and scattered showers are expected to grace the regions of Boujdour, Loukkos, West Rif, and Gharb. These showers are expected to continue into the late evening, offering a welcome respite from drier conditions.
But the rain doesn’t stop there! The plains north of El Jadida, North Saiss, and the Mediterranean coast can expect some scattered droplets as they welcome the night.
Meanwhile, the central and northwestern coasts of the Saharan regions will see relatively dense low clouds bringing with them a chance of very light rain. Coastal areas along the Atlantic can expect some foggy patches, while Tangier, the Atlas Mountains, and the northern reaches of the southern regions might experience relatively strong winds.
Temperature Tango: A Mixed Bag Across Morocco
Temperatures across Morocco will be as diverse as its landscapes. The High and Middle Atlas Mountains will experience the coolest temperatures, ranging between 5-9°C (41-48°F). The Rif region and the eastern High Plateaus will see slightly warmer temperatures between 9-13°C (48-55°F).
Meanwhile, the southernmost regions will bask in the warmest temperatures, reaching a balmy 20-22°C (68-72°F). The rest of the country will experience moderate temperatures between 14-19°C (57-66°F).
While central Morocco will see a slight dip in temperatures, the rest of the country can expect the mercury to rise.
Seafarers Take Note: Choppy Waters Ahead
The Mediterranean Sea and other coastal areas will experience rough seas, with waves ranging from slightly choppy to rough. The Strait of Gibraltar will see rougher conditions, escalating to very rough in the evening. Similarly, the waters between Cape Spartel and Tarfaya will be rough, becoming very rough in the afternoon.
This varied weather forecast highlights the dynamic nature of Morocco’s climate. Whether you’re seeking shelter from the rain or bracing for strong winds, staying informed about the latest weather updates is crucial.
