Heatwave Continues in Morocco Until Sunday

Morocco is bracing for continued high temperatures as the General Directorate of Meteorology has extended a heatwave alert until Sunday, July 5. The national weather service issued a new orange-level warning, predicting temperatures to range between 33 and 46 degrees Celsius in various provinces across the kingdom.

The most intense heat is expected in cities such as Sidi Slimane, Kelaat Sraghna, Marrakech, and Ouarzazate, where temperatures could reach between 42 and 46 degrees Celsius. Other areas, including Errachidia, Safi, and Agadir Ida Outanane, will experience slightly lower but still significant heat, with temperatures ranging from 40 to 43 degrees Celsius.

Even coastal cities like Casablanca, Rabat, and El Jadida will not be spared, with forecasts predicting temperatures between 33 and 38 degrees Celsius. In addition to the extreme heat, the Directorate also warned of strong wind gusts, ranging from 75 to 85 kilometers per hour, expected in Tangier Assilah and Fahs Anjra from Friday morning until Saturday night.

The extended heatwave underscores the challenging weather conditions facing Morocco, prompting authorities to issue advisories and maintain a high level of vigilance across the affected regions.
