Morocco is expected to experience a mix of hot and unstable weather conditions on Sunday. The General Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) forecasts hot temperatures in the southern provinces and the Souss region. In contrast, thunderstorms are expected in several mountainous and eastern areas. Temperatures will remain relatively high in the interior plains, with the eastern and central regions expected to become warmer.
The DGM predicts that morning and nighttime low clouds will form along the central coast, with fog likely to develop in some areas. Dense cloud cover is also forecast in the morning over the Rif, Saiss, Oulmes, and the northwestern plains. These areas could see isolated thunderstorms. The unstable weather conditions in these regions contrast with the warm and stable conditions in other parts of the country.
Unstable clouds will develop over the High Atlas and Middle Atlas, as well as neighboring areas, the Rif, the eastern region, and the Sahara provinces. This could lead to thunderstorms in these areas. Moderate to fairly strong wind gusts are also expected over the Anti-Atlas and the Sahara provinces, potentially causing localized dust to blow and reducing visibility.
The forecast shows significant differences in weather conditions across the country, with some regions continuing to experience unstable weather while others record warmer and more stable conditions. The DGM warns that the wind gusts could cause disruptions in some areas. The weather conditions are expected to vary greatly depending on the region.
Minimum temperatures will range between 7°C and 12°C in the Atlas and Rif mountains. In contrast, the Sahara provinces and the Souss region will record the highest minimum temperatures, ranging between 24°C and 30°C. Temperatures will range from 14°C to 20°C in the eastern region and areas near the coast.
Temperatures are expected to rise in the eastern and central regions, while they will fall or remain stable in the rest of the country. The marine conditions will remain slightly rough in the Mediterranean and along the Strait of Gibraltar. The Atlantic coast will see slightly rough to rough seas.
The weather forecast is a significant concern for several regions in Morocco, particularly those expected to experience thunderstorms and strong winds. Residents are advised to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The DGM will continue to monitor the weather conditions and provide updates as necessary.
