With 47.3 ° C in Marrakech, the record of 49.6 ° C of July 19, 2012 is not threatened.
The country's absolute heat record, established on July 13, 1961 in Smara with a value of 50.3 ° C, also remains a long way off.
This heat is due to the Chergui, a hot and dry wind coming from the Sahara, which stabilized between the north of Morocco and the south of Spain.
