Morocco has experienced a significant increase in rainfall, with an average of 113.9 mm recorded from September 2024 to March 2025. This represents an 88.1% increase compared to the previous year, when rainfall was only 60 mm. However, it still falls short of the annual average by 18.3%, which is 139.3 mm.
Since February, the country has seen substantial rainfall, exceeding the normal average for the same period in 2024 by 130%. These rains have contributed to reducing the water deficit and increasing dam reserves, which have improved significantly.
The total water inflow from September 2024 to March 2025 is estimated at 2981 million cubic meters. Although this represents a 60.5% deficit compared to the annual average, it is a 57.5% increase from the previous year.
The rainfall was accompanied by snowfall in several regions, resulting in significant water contributions to dams, estimated at 1712 million cubic meters since February. As a result, the dam fill rate improved from 27% to 36% by March 20, 2025, with a total volume of 6.12 billion cubic meters.
The minister highlighted that these rains have revived hope for farmers due to their positive effects on agricultural sectors, particularly fruit trees. They will help reduce irrigation needs, lower energy costs for farmers, and decrease livestock feed expenses.
These conditions have been influenced by several climatic factors, including low-pressure systems from the Atlantic and changes in North Atlantic Oscillation. Further rainfall is expected in the coming days, with potential precipitation in northern and eastern Morocco.
