Morocco: what the September 2026 climate assessment says

Le Matin reported on 9 October that September 2026 was Morocco’s warmest September observed since 1981. According to the DGM assessment it cites, the national average exceeded the 1991-2020 reference by 2.75°C.

H24Info relays the same assessment. Agreement between these publications therefore does not represent two independent measurements. The reported difference concerns a monthly national average, not the maximum temperature in each city.

Our reading: keeping the month, territory and reference period in the same sentence prevents giving the figure a meaning beyond its scope. A monthly record describes an observation result; it does not provide a forecast for the coming days.

This assessment encourages following climate series and responses to heat over time. It cannot, alone, quantify agricultural losses or water consumption. Those consequences require their own data before conclusions can be drawn.
