The Morocco records record temperatures this season with the thermometer having reached 45.7 degrees Celsius.

If as a weather event it can not be directly attributed to the climate crisis, scientists believe that the severity and duration of heat waves are expected to increase in the future in response to a warmer global climate.
Extremely hot and mostly sunny conditions were reported throughout southern Europe this week. Record temperatures were recorded in parts of Spain for the month of May, with the southern Andalusian city of Jaen recording 40.3 degrees Celsius, according to the Spanish meteorological service Aemet.
In the nearby city of Andujah, temperatures exceeded 42 degrees Celsius for two consecutive days.
In other parts of Europe, however, the weather was completely different. Heavy storms swept across the northwest, causing strong winds, torrential rains, hail and even some tornadoes.
A tornado swept through the western German city of Paderborn, injuring 43 people with roofs and trees being uprooted.
Heavy rains caused flash floods and the death of a 38-year-old man who was electrocuted when his basement flooded the town of Wittgert in western Germany.
At the same time on the opposite side of the Atlantic and more specifically on USAthe Colorado saw snow just 24 hours after temperatures above 30 degrees Celsius.
A strong cold front dropped the temperature above 30 degrees Celsius in less than 36 hours, and snow fell in many areas. Parts of Denver had about 5-8 inches of snow, while in Creep Creek and around Palmer Lake the snow reached almost 20 points.
In the southeastern United States and Mexico, on the other hand, a cloud of African dust arrived from the Sahara, making the sky cloudy and reducing air quality.
Thunderstorms in North Africa send dust particles higher into the atmosphere, and this volume often travels westward from the equatorial winds blowing from the east.
