Morocco is expected to experience an intense heatwave in the coming days, with temperatures rising significantly, about 8 to 15 degrees Celsius above seasonal averages across several regions of the kingdom. Houcine Youabed, Communications Officer at the General Directorate of Meteorology, explains which areas will be affected by this heatwave and offers advice on how to mitigate its potential impacts.
Morocco has experienced numerous freezing winters throughout its history, with notable cold waves such as those during the Little Ice Age, in 1956, and more recently in 2016 and 2017.
