Moreover, the National Meteorological Office (ONM) has predicted some snowfall on the reliefs of the Center and West of the country, exceeding 1100/1200 meters in altitude, then descending to altitudes of 1000/1100 meters in the evening.

As for the maximum temperatures for this day, they will vary considerably depending on the regions. Along the coastal regions, the thermometer will range between 13°C and 17°C. In the inland regions, temperatures will have a wider range, from 6°C to 17°C. Finally, in the vast Saharan expanses, temperatures will range from 15°C to 36°C.
