Heavy spring storms struck parts of Morocco last week, bringing hail that blanketed streets in Marrakech and the Al Haouz region. The severe weather occurred on Friday, April 10, 2026, following a period of intense rainfall and thunderstorms.
According to the General Directorate of National Meteorology (DGM), this type of spring episode is characterized by high variability and can lead to sudden, localized downpours and hail. The agency noted that such events are part of the typical seasonal weather patterns for the region during this transitional period.
The hail accumulation was significant enough to cover roads and surfaces in affected areas, impacting local traffic and daily activities. The DGM regularly issues weather alerts and forecasts to help the public and authorities prepare for such meteorological phenomena.
No official reports of major damage or injuries were immediately released by national authorities in connection with this specific storm event. Residents in regions prone to spring storms are advised to stay informed through official meteorological channels.
