About

The Morocco Climate and Economy Observatory is an independent research site that tracks climate, economic and financial stability indicators for Morocco, updated automatically from open sources.

Climate Temperature, drought, rainfall and dams across the twelve regions, daily and monthly, with alerts and projections to 2050. Economy and finance Climate risk and financial stress indices, forecasts, scenarios and comparison of Morocco with its neighbours. Publications Peer-reviewed articles, analysis notes and a monthly brief in three languages, readable directly on the site.
