Weather patterns across North Africa and the Middle East continue to fluctuate between extreme heat and localized storm activity.

In Morocco, hot weather persists in the Souss region, the Sahara provinces, and southeastern areas. While extreme heat remains a concern, localized thunderstorms are expected in the Atlas Mountains and southern regions.

In Egypt, temperatures are expected to remain high through mid-September. Southern areas may reach 45 degrees Celsius, with humidity driving felt temperatures as high as 46 degrees. A gradual decrease in temperatures is anticipated starting Friday.

In Palestine, the Palestinian Meteorological Department has forecasted hot to extremely hot weather through Friday. Temperatures are expected to remain approximately 4 degrees Celsius above the annual average through Wednesday, before decreasing slightly to 2 degrees above the average on Thursday and Friday. 

Authorities in Palestine have issued ongoing safety warnings, advising against prolonged direct sun exposure—particularly between 11:00 AM and 4:00 PM—and highlighting the risks of fires in dry grass areas and the danger of leaving children or the elderly in closed vehicles.
