Morocco's General Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) issued weather alerts warning of severe thunderstorms, hail, and snowfall expected to affect several regions of the Kingdom. The alerts were issued ahead of a significant deterioration in weather conditions forecast for Friday, April 10, 2026.
According to the DGM, heavy rainfall and violent thunderstorms were anticipated across multiple regions, including areas of the Rif mountains and other northern and central parts of the country. Snowfall was also expected at higher altitudes, while hailstorms posed risks to lower-lying areas.
Authorities urged residents in affected regions to exercise caution, avoid unnecessary travel during peak storm periods, and stay informed through official meteorological updates. Farmers and those working outdoors were particularly advised to take precautionary measures given the risk of hail damage.
Such spring weather episodes are not uncommon in Morocco, where Atlantic weather systems can bring sudden and intense precipitation, particularly during the transitional months of March and April. The DGM continues to monitor conditions and update forecasts as the situation evolves.
