Quick answer: Maroc Météo reported on 2 July 2026 that temperatures were 5 to 12°C above seasonal normals. On 1 July 2026, more than nine cities exceeded 40°C, including 42.2°C in Kenitra and 40.0°C in Salé.
What to retain
DGM links the episode to the Chergui, a hot dry continental wind, and a Saharan thermal low. It also mentioned possible sand lifts and local thunderstorms over mountain areas.
Why it matters
Travellers should adapt timing: early visits, indoor breaks in the afternoon, air-conditioned long drives and extra care for children, older travellers and people with chronic illness.
Watch points
Early July 2026 figures do not replace today’s warning. Check the official Maroc Météo bulletin before moving.
