After a relatively calm weekend, Morocco is set to experience a new phase of unstable weather starting Monday, with heavy rainfall and strong winds expected to hit the northwest, where precipitation could exceed seasonal averages.
According to the latest forecasts from the General Directorate of Meteorology, Saturday, February 1, and Sunday, February 2, will see a temporary lull in weather activity, with generally stable conditions across the country. Only isolated, light showers are expected in the far northwest, particularly in areas near the Atlantic coast.
Stormy Conditions Expected from Monday
The start of the week, beginning Monday, February 3, will bring a significant deterioration in weather, especially along the northwest coast, due to the approach of a deep Atlantic low-pressure system. The system is expected to bring:
- Heavy rainfall, mainly affecting northern regions,
- Moderate to locally strong wind gusts, particularly near the approaching weather front,
- Snowfall over medium and high-altitude mountainous areas.
Rainfall May Exceed Seasonal Averages
Preliminary data indicate that next week will be particularly wet, with the northwest most affected. The regions of Tangier, the Loukkos basin, Gharb, and western Rif are expected to record significant rainfall, well above the usual climatological averages for February.
Authorities and residents in affected areas are advised to stay vigilant, especially in low-lying zones and mountainous regions prone to flooding and strong winds.
