Morocco Braces for Heatwave with Strong Winds and Coastal Fog

Morocco is bracing for a hot Saturday, with the General Directorate of Meteorology forecasting relatively high temperatures across several parts of the kingdom. The southeastern regions, the eastern areas, the Moulouya Valley, and the far south of the country are expected to experience the most intense heat.

Residents along some Atlantic coasts can expect low clouds and localized fog during the early morning and nighttime hours. Additionally, strong gusts of wind are predicted for the eastern parts of the country, the Atlas Mountains, and southern territories. These windy conditions may lead to scattered sand in the southern and southeastern areas.

Temperatures will vary significantly across the country. The Atlas Mountains will see lows between 13 and 17 degrees Celsius. Meanwhile, the southeastern and far southern regions will experience highs ranging from 24 to 30 degrees Celsius. Other parts of Morocco will have temperatures between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius.

Sea conditions are expected to be calm to slightly rough along the Mediterranean coast and the Strait of Gibraltar. North of Boujdour, the sea will be slightly rough, while south of Boujdour, it could range from slightly rough to rough.
