Béni-Mellal Province

Béni-Mellal (Arabic: بني ملال) is a province in the Moroccan region of Béni Mellal-Khénifra.

The high mountains are covered with snow from November to April.

Beni Mellal Province has a continental climate with rainfall varying between 350 and 650 mm depending on the year.

Extreme temperatures on the plateau range from a -6 °C in January 2005 to a 47 °C in July 2007.

The summer is normally very hot because of the burning easterly or southeasterly winds, known as chergui, which blow off the Sahara and raise the temperature above 40 °C.
