Extreme temperatures in Morocco: authorities sound the alarm

Moroccans have been experiencing a succession of intense heat waves since the beginning of the summer. These heatwaves, which reached peaks last Monday with temperatures reaching 48°C in some regions, are worrying the authorities. The General Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) pointed out, in a press release published this Wednesday, the causes of this exceptional situation.

Global warming appears to be the main aggravating factor. Morocco, located in a region particularly vulnerable to climate change, is on the front line when it comes to these extreme phenomena. Average temperatures are rising inexorably, making heat waves more frequent and more intense.
