Morocco is seeing substantial weather changes as rainfall returns after months of drought. This shift is attributed to the weakening of a high-pressure system. Forecasts indicate continued precipitation through March, with heavier rain expected on the weekend, particularly in central regions.
Morocco is experiencing a significant transformation in weather patterns, following months of drought and high temperatures. Rainfall has returned across various regions of the country, marking the end of an extended dry spell. This transition is attributed to a weakening of the high-pressure system, which previously hindered precipitation from reaching Moroccan territory.
Houcine Youabed, Head of Communications at the General Directorate of Meteorology, announced that meteorological forecasts predict continued rainy conditions throughout March. Multiple low-pressure systems, which have recently passed over the country, are responsible for the arrival of thunderstorms and snowfall, particularly in the northern and central regions. Heavy rainfall is anticipated on Thursday, spreading further across Morocco, including into the Tiznit area.
A brief improvement in the weather is expected on Friday; however, a strong low-pressure system is projected to arrive during the weekend, bringing heavy rain on both Saturday and Sunday, impacting most regions, especially along the northern and central coasts. Already, the central areas have begun to receive beneficial rainfall, which is expected to intensify significantly over the weekend, particularly in the Marrakech and Souss regions.
It is important to note that the absence of significant weather disturbances during December and January was due to the Azores High, which prevented low-pressure systems from entering Morocco. Meanwhile, other nations, including Portugal and parts of western Europe, experienced substantial rainfall during that period.
In conclusion, Morocco is witnessing a welcome change in its weather conditions with the advent of rainfall following a prolonged drought. Significant precipitation is expected to continue throughout March, resulting from meteorological shifts that have allowed low-pressure systems to impact the region. The forecast includes heightened rainfall intensity in various parts, particularly over the coming weekend.
