 Tourists have flocked to swimming pools and beaches in Morocco on Sunday as temperatures continue to soar as high as 47 degrees Celsius in some regions. In Marrakesh, tourists and local residents cooled off in the Osiria swimming pool, the largest swimming pool in the city, while the tourists headed to coffee shops or restaurants with air conditioning to avoid the seaside heat. The Morocco Meteorological Department said the country will experience a heat wave and will continue till the next weekend, where temperatures range from 44 to 47 degrees Celsius. Since on Friday several Moroccan regions have recorded a rise in temperatures which is considered an exceptional case in Morocco due to the effect of hot and dry air masses coming from the Sahara towards Morocco.
