Heatwave Sweeps Across Morocco with Extreme Temperatures Forecast
Morocco is set to endure another wave of intense heat this week, with temperatures rising to dangerous levels in many parts of the country. The General Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) announced that the heatwave will stretch from Tuesday to Friday, placing several southern and central provinces under an orange alert. In the most affected areas, Errachidia, Zagora, Taroudant, Tata, Assa-Zag, Es-Semara, Oued Eddahab, and Aousserd, the thermometer is expected to hit between 44 and 47 degrees Celsius. For many residents, this level of heat makes daily routines nearly impossible. Families seek shade, farmers delay work, and entire neighborhoods appear still during the hottest hours of the day. Meanwhile, temperatures between 40 and 44 degrees are expected across a wider belt of the country, including parts of Beni Mellal, Fez, Marrakech, Agadir, Meknes, and Settat. This type of heat, which once seemed exceptional, has become more frequent over recent summers, raising concerns about climate patterns and water scarcity. The DGM has urged people in affected areas to drink plenty of water, avoid direct sun exposure, and remain indoors during peak afternoon hours. The warning comes as Morocco, like much of North Africa, faces increasingly harsh weather conditions that are putting pressure on daily life and natural resources. As the heatwave sets in, many are left wondering whether this is just another summer spike, or a sign of deeper changes already taking root.

The country has been hit by intense heatwaves, sandstorms, thunderstorms, and strong winds. Temperatures rose to over 44 degrees in several regions across the country. Many Moroccans have been heading to beaches, lakes, and swimming pools to cool off and cope with the heat. To help people stay safe, Moroccan weather authorities have been raising awareness on TV and radio. They are using Arabic, Darija (Moroccan Arabic), and Amazigh languages to reach a wide audience, warning them about upcoming heatwaves and advising them on how to protect themselves. The country has been facing rising temperatures and very little rainfall, making the weather even more difficult to cope with, especially in inland areas. This trend is expected to continue throughout the summer, with above-average temperatures forecast across the country. Tags: thunderstormWeatherweather alert
