The General Directorate of Meteorology expects, for today, Tuesday, October 29, 2024, the weather condition in general to be characterized by strong thundershowers locally over the plains of the Atlantic Ocean extending from Kenitra to Safi, the Gharb region, and the Mediterranean front located between Driouch and Al Hoceima, as well as the western countryside.
Other rains are also expected over the High Atlas highlands and its neighboring regions, the Middle Atlas, Saiss, the Phosphate and Diamond Plateaus, in addition to the western Mediterranean coast.
The weather will be cloudy at times, accompanied by weak and scattered rain over the central coasts, as well as some snow falling over the peaks of the Middle Atlas.
The weather is expected to be relatively cold, accompanied by local frost, over the Atlas, the Rif, and the eastern high plateaus. It is also expected to record somewhat strong wind gusts in the eastern region and the northern Atlantic plains.
Minimum temperatures will range between minus 1 and 06 degrees in the Atlas highlands, the countryside and the high plateaus, and between 12 and 17 degrees in the southern regions and near the coasts, and will be between 06 and 12 degrees in the rest of the Kingdom. Temperatures during the day will rise slightly over the Rif and Atlas regions.
The sea will be rampant to the strong rampage in the Mediterranean front, and between Mahdia and Tarfaya, and a little rampage to the Bogaz, and will be rampant to the rest of the other coasts.

**Interview with Dr. Laila Benomar, Meteorologist at the General Directorate of Meteorology**
**Interviewer:** Thank you for joining us today, Dr. Benomar. As we understand, the weather forecast for October 29, 2024, indicates strong thundershowers, particularly affecting the Atlantic plains and northern regions of Morocco. How do you anticipate these weather conditions will impact daily life for residents in these areas?
**Dr. Benomar:** Thank you for having me. The expected thundershowers could lead to localized flooding, especially in low-lying areas, affecting transportation and daily activities. People should remain cautious, particularly in regions like the Gharb and the coastal plains from Kenitra to Safi.
**Interviewer:** With temperatures expected to plummet and even snow predicted in the Middle Atlas, how should communities prepare for these colder conditions following the rain?
**Dr. Benomar:** Communities need to take proactive measures, especially in colder regions where frost is expected. It’s important for residents to check their heating systems, ensure they have sufficient supplies, and stay updated on any changes in weather which could pose risks.
**Interviewer:** Given the wide variety of weather conditions—from rain and snow to temperature fluctuations—what do you think the public should prioritize in their discussions about climate change and weather preparedness?
**Dr. Benomar:** This situation should prompt a broader conversation on climate resilience. Are our infrastructures in tune with the realities of these severe weather patterns? How are local governments coordinating emergency responses? It’s vital for the public to engage in discussions about sustainable practices and community preparedness.
**Interviewer:** Very insightful, Dr. Benomar. As readers absorb this information, we invite you to weigh in: How do you feel these weather changes will affect your community’s preparedness for future climate events? Are there steps you believe should be taken to improve resilience? We welcome your thoughts and experiences.
