Morocco Sees Sudden Weather Changes: Storms and Heat
Listen to the story
Morocco is having strange weather this week. In some places, the weather is changing very fast. There is strong rain and thunder in many areas. The rain is falling hard and fast. In the south, it is very hot. The heat is strong there. People say the heat is 'holding' the south.
Because of the heavy rain, some valleys are getting a lot of water. This is called a flood risk. Water can move fast through the valleys after big rain. People in these areas need to be careful.
The weather report was for Sunday. It talked about hot weather in the south and storms in other parts of the country. This shows how different the weather can be in Morocco at the same time.
