Morocco has since Saturday, July 10, faced a stifling heat that should peak, this Sunday, July 11, with record temperatures approaching 51 degrees. According to the country’s meteorological services, this is a full-time height.
For the head of Morocco’s National Meteorological Research Center, Hassan Haddouch, this phenomenon is primarily a consequence of the global warming that has affected our planet for several years, and which is particularly due to human activity.
“We have really seen a huge increase in temperature since yesterday [samedi 10 juillet] and for today it is planned the same. We broke temperature records in a lot of cities. It is due to human activity that emits greenhouse gases that we have a blockage in the atmosphere. So this human activity that emits greenhouse gases has disturbed this balance that exists at the level of the atmosphere, and therefore we have elevators coming from the east. Therefore, this time it is hot air coming up from the Sahara and causing very large temperature increases. We hope that the temperature in Morocco will start to drop from Monday or Tuesday. Maybe it’s raining and we’re getting seasonal temperatures again. ”
