Morocco weather: Hot in southeast, thunderstorms forecast for east and mountains

Morocco's General Directorate of Meteorology forecasts hot weather for Sunday, particularly in the southeastern parts of the country and within the Saharan provinces. Residents in these areas can expect temperatures to remain high throughout the day.

In contrast, scattered thundershowers are predicted for the eastern Rif region, the country's eastern territories, and the Middle Atlas mountains. These rains may be accompanied by hail, offering some relief from the heat in these specific locales.

During the morning and night, dense low clouds are expected to form along the Mediterranean coast and the Atlantic plains. These could bring very light rain or fog, potentially affecting visibility in coastal and plain areas. Additionally, strong wind gusts are anticipated in the Atlas mountains, eastern regions, and southeastern areas, with a possibility of localized dust storms.

Minimum temperatures will range from 22 to 26 degrees Celsius in the southeast, eastern and southern Saharan provinces, and the Moulouya valley. The Atlas mountains will see lows between 11 and 17 degrees Celsius, while the rest of the kingdom will experience temperatures between 17 and 22 degrees Celsius. Daytime temperatures are expected to slightly decrease in the southern parts of the kingdom. The sea will be calm to slightly rough along the Mediterranean coast and the Strait of Gibraltar, and slightly rough to rough along the Atlantic coast.
