Climate in Morocco
Morocco — Subtropical Mediterranean country. Unlike Algeria and Tunisia, it has two marine «Facade» — Atlantic and Mediterranean. The country is most discovered for marine influences, which has a considerable impact on her climate causes it «Softening» — Reduces temperature contrasts, increases humidity.
Along the coast of the Atlantic passes the cold canary flow, which contributes to a decrease in the summer air temperatures. Concept «Cold current», Of course, conditional, since the average temperatures of the surface horizons of water in the summer usually exceed 20 °C, and in winter make up at least 16–17 °C. On the Mediterranean coast of the country, the climate is soft, subtropical, the average temperature in the summer about + 24-28 s (sometimes reaches + 30-35 s), and in winter + 10-12 s.
In summer, over the entire territory of the country is hot dry weather.
In winter, the influx of marine wet and relatively cold air, brought by cyclones from the West and North–West. Sometimes in the winter in Morocco invades the hot sea tropical air from the south, which causes big weather contrasts. For example, in Casablanca, the absolute maximum temperature in winter is 36 °C, and the absolute minimum -3 °C. With the invasion of warm sea air in winter connected frequent fogs on the coast.
As you move from the north to south, the climate is gradually changing and the number of rains — essential element of the Mediterranean climate — With the approach to sugar is noticeably reduced. In this case, the climate is becoming more and more continental, with heat (up to +37 c) in the summer and cool (up to + 5 s) in winter. And in winter and summer, the daily temperature difference can reach 20 degrees. From the west to the East, there is also a noticeable decrease in precipitation: if in the west Morocco climate marine, then in the east, pronounced continental.
