Rabat – Morocco will continue to experience hot weather on Monday, according to the latest forecast from the General Directorate of Meteorology.
High temperatures will affect the northern and central plains, the Saiss region, the southern Rif, the phosphate and Oulmès plateaus, the southeast, and the inland areas of Souss and the Saharan provinces.
The weather will also be fairly hot in the Middle Atlas and the Oriental regions.
Some clouds may develop over the High and Anti-Atlas mountains, bringing scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms, especially on the eastern slopes, added the weather authority.
In addition, winds will be strong in some areas, especially the southeast, central regions, southern provinces, the Tangier area, and around the Atlas Mountains. These winds may raise dust in certain spots.
Minimum temperatures will be very warm in the extreme southeast, ranging between 30 and 35°C. Meanwhile, minimum temperatures will range from 17 to 25°C in the Atlas, southern regions, the Mediterranean coast, and the eastern parts of the country. In the rest of Morocco, they will range between 25 and 30°C.
Daytime temperatures are expected to slightly drop in the central coastal areas, the Souss region, and the western part of the southern provinces.
Several regions across the country have been experiencing a heatwave over the past days, with unusually high temperatures across many areas. Although the weather remains warm, this week marks a slight drop in temperatures compared to the recent extreme heat.
Coastal areas in particular are seeing some relief, while inland regions are still expected to stay hot, though less intense than before.
This comes as much of southern Europe faces intense heatwaves, with temperatures soaring above 40°C in countries like Italy, Spain, Greece, and Portugal.
Authorities have issued high-level alerts and wildfire warnings, as experts link the growing intensity and frequency of these extreme weather events to climate change.
