Low clouds accompanied by fog or localized mist are also anticipated over the northern and central Atlantic plains, Saïss, the phosphate plateaus, Oulmès, the Souss, and the northwestern provinces of the South, which may reduce visibility in some areas.

Falling and Contrasting Temperatures

Minimum temperatures will fluctuate between -3 and 2°C in the Atlas Mountains, between 2 and 4°C in the Rif and the eastern high plateaus, and between 6 and 12°C in the remaining regions. In the South, temperatures will range locally between 17 and 20°C, and between 12 and 17°C in other areas of the southern provinces and southeastern region.

Throughout the day, temperatures in the southeast will experience a slight decline, while an increase is expected in the rest of the country.
