Morocco braces for hot weather with chances of thunderstorms and wind

Morocco's General Directorate of Meteorology forecasts relatively hot to hot weather for Sunday across various parts of the country. Regions including Fez, Walmas, the western plains, the southeast, and the southern provinces are expected to experience elevated temperatures.

In the morning and at night, residents in the northern and central plains, as well as the northwestern Sahara, can expect low, relatively dense clouds accompanied by fog or very light rain. Meanwhile, cumulonimbus clouds are predicted over the eastern high plateaus and east of the Middle Atlas mountains. These could bring localized rainfall and thunderstorms, with some gusty winds also possible in these areas.

Strong winds are also anticipated along the central coast, the Tangier region, and the southern provinces, potentially causing localized dust storms. Temperatures during the night will range from 20-24 degrees Celsius in the southeast and eastern high plateaus, 6-12 degrees Celsius in mountainous areas, and 15-20 degrees Celsius elsewhere. Daytime temperatures are expected to rise across most of the country.
