Morocco Braces for a Windy Day with a Chance of Showers in the South
Get ready for a breezy Saturday across Morocco! While most of the country enjoys a relatively warm day, the south might see a sprinkle of rain and a rumble of thunder.
The General Directorate of Meteorology predicts scattered showers and thunderstorms for the southernmost regions of Morocco. Meanwhile, those along the central coast, northwest of the southern regions, and the western Mediterranean coast might experience a light drizzle.
The Atlas Mountains, both High and Middle, can expect the development of cumulus clouds, potentially leading to localized showers. Fog patches might develop in the Atlantic plains, while the far south experiences slightly warmer temperatures.
Wind will be a major player throughout the day. Local gusts of wind carrying sand are expected in the south. Stronger wind gusts are anticipated in Tangier, the southern regions, the Mediterranean coast, and the central Atlantic plains.
Here’s a quick look at the expected temperature range:
Southern Morocco: Lows of 23-29°C (73-84°F)
Atlas and Rif Mountains: Lows of 8-14°C (46-57°F)
Southeastern Morocco: Lows of 19-24°C (66-75°F)
Rest of Morocco: Lows of 14-20°C (57-68°F)
Daytime temperatures are predicted to rise slightly in the Atlas Mountains and the northwestern plains.
As for the sea, expect calm to slightly choppy conditions in the Mediterranean, slightly choppy waters in the Strait of Gibraltar, and slightly choppy to rough seas along the Atlantic coast.
