Morocco is bracing for a hot Sunday, with the General Directorate of Meteorology forecasting high temperatures in several regions. Areas like the Moulouya Valley, Tadla, Rehamna, Gharb, Chichaoua, Souss, and the southeastern parts of the country, along with northern Saharan provinces, will experience intense heat. Temperatures are expected to range between 30 and 35 degrees Celsius in Chichaoua, Souss, the southeast, northern Saharan provinces, and inland Gharb.
However, the Atlas Mountains and southeastern regions can expect some relief in the form of scattered rain showers and thunderstorms. Light rain and fog are also possible near the coasts and in the Souss region. Winds will pick up, ranging from moderate to locally strong, particularly along the central coasts, the southeast, the eastern region, and the southern provinces. These winds may carry sand in some areas.
Daytime temperatures will see a slight decrease along the northern and central Atlantic coasts, and in the southeast and south of the eastern region. Conversely, temperatures will rise in other parts of the kingdom. Overnight lows will be between 16 and 20 degrees Celsius in the Atlas Mountains and near the coast, while most other areas will see lows between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. The sea will be calm to slightly rough along the Mediterranean coast and the Strait of Gibraltar, calm north of Safi, and slightly rough to rough along the rest of the coast.
