An analysis of Morocco’s climate situation over the years reveals swings between drought and rare but heavy rainfall. Released on Thursday, the World Meteorological Organization’s «State of the Climate in Africa 2025» illustrates this succession of episodes, the latest being an abnormally warm spring, according to the DGM.
Despite growing global interest in the El Niño phenomenon as one of the most prominent indicators of climate change, scientific data confirms that it is not a reliable indicator for predicting rainfall levels in Morocco.
The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned Tuesday of the resurgence of El Niño. In a statement, it urged countries to prepare for extreme weather events in the coming months. In Morocco, the phenomenon is reflected in a very high likelihood of drought returning.
