Subtropical storm “Patty”: a threat to Morocco?

The National Hurricane Center in the United States recently announced the formation of subtropical storm “Patty” in the northern Atlantic Ocean, not far from the Azores Islands. This climatic phenomenon is attracting attention due to its predicted trajectory towards Portugal and its anticipated arrival in Europe during the weekend.

Despite its remoteness, the storm raises questions about its potential impact on other regions, including Morocco. “Patty” winds are currently reaching speeds of 50 miles per hour, accompanied by more intense gusts in some areas. However, experts believe the storm’s strength will remain stable, with no significant increase in the coming days.

Possible implications for Morocco

For the moment, no official statement has been issued by the Moroccan authorities regarding “Patty”. The path followed by the storm does not suggest a passage into Moroccan territory, thus maintaining a safe distance from national borders. However, vigilance remains essential.

Moroccan meteorological services have reported strong winds likely to affect the northwest of the country, particularly the Tangier region. These gusts could appear from 11 a.m. and persist until midnight, suggesting a possible link with the disturbances generated by the storm.

Increased surveillance by authorities

Authorities and meteorological services are closely monitoring developments. The objective is to determine whether the storm could have indirect repercussions on Morocco, even if its epicenter remains distant. Residents of affected regions are encouraged to stay informed of official updates and follow safety instructions.

Although “Patty” is not seen as an immediate threat, its indirect influence, through atmospheric disturbances, could create unpredictable weather conditions. This vigilance highlights the importance of preparation for climatic phenomena likely to affect the region.
