What time of year is the Souss river typically flowing?

Country forums / Africa / Morocco

I'd like to see the Souss valley and I imagine it would be nicest when there's more water flowing in the river. When is there the most precipitation in the south?

It's not really a valley per se, it's a very wide, flat expanse of land that has a river running through it. Mostly semi-dried up. When there's rain there's more water, but of course who can ever predict weather?

Historically Nov/Dec have more water, this was Nov 2014: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7RFcgZSlno

Flippin' heck, I think you just scared me off the idea!
Actually, Nov/Dec works well with my schedule for this year, so I might just go for it. Cheers.

Tim, you reminded me of home, which is Northern California. After years of terrible drought, we have had torrential downpours, resulting in flooding, loss of life, derailing of a train, fires, power outages, and other serious problems. No way of knowing what is to come. Lovely creeks can become killers but that is no reason to fear what may, or may what may not, be to come. We can''t know!!
