Morocco's Directorate of National Meteorology (DMN) has issued a weather alert for strong winds and dust storms expected to affect several regions of the country on Monday, April 6, 2026. The advisory, valid from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., warns of gusts reaching between 70 and 90 km/h, with locally stronger gusts possible.
The affected provinces include Errachidia, Tinghir, Zagora, Ouarzazate, and Tata. The DMN forecasts the formation of dust storms, which are expected to significantly reduce horizontal visibility and could disrupt road traffic, particularly on exposed axes. The public, especially motorists, are advised to exercise extreme caution.
Authorities recommend that residents in the impacted areas secure loose outdoor objects and limit non-essential travel during the peak of the weather event. The conditions are typical for this transitional period but require heightened awareness due to the associated risks of reduced visibility and potential property damage.
