Morocco Faces Heavy Rainfall and Stormy Winds

Several regions in Morocco entered a phase of severe weather disturbances on Wednesday, November 11, 2026, after the General Directorate of Meteorology issued an orange-level alert warning of heavy rainfall and thunderstorms, potentially accompanied by hail, coinciding with stormy winds reaching speeds of 100 kilometers per hour.

Data provided in the bulletin indicates that rainfall levels could reach between 80 and 110 millimeters in some northern regions of the Kingdom, with varying intensities recorded across several provinces, including Chefchaouen, Al Hoceima, Tetouan, Taounate, Larache, and Ouezzane, in addition to other areas that may be affected by the weather fluctuations.

The warning period for rainfall extends from Wednesday noon to Thursday noon, November 12. Meanwhile, strong wind gusts are expected, which may cause dust storms and disrupt traffic, particularly in coastal areas, highlands, and some inland provinces.

These disturbances occur in the context of rapidly changing weather conditions across the Kingdom, amid concerns over rising water levels in valleys and low-lying areas, and the potential for local flash floods in areas most vulnerable to heavy precipitation, especially if large quantities of rain are concentrated within short periods.

This situation requires caution and vigilance, particularly for road users and residents living near watercourses, with the necessity to follow updated weather forecasts and adhere to directives issued by the competent authorities to avoid potential risks resulting from adverse weather conditions.
