Severe thunderstorms with the potential for hail are expected to hit several regions across the country on Friday, according to the national meteorological authority. In a weather alert issued at the orange level—the second-highest warning tier—forecasters are urging residents in the affected areas to prepare for intense downpours.
The storms are projected to strike between noon and 8 p.m., bringing rainfall totals ranging from 15 to 35 millimeters. The warning specifically targets the provinces of Guercif, Taourirt, Taza, Nador, Driouch, Al Hoceima, and Chefchaouen. Authorities are cautioning that the storm system could disrupt local activities and impact travel conditions, particularly in mountainous or flood-prone areas.
With the added risk of hail, residents are advised to stay indoors during the peak storm hours and to secure any outdoor items that could be damaged or pose a hazard. Emergency services remain on alert, and the public is encouraged to monitor updates from official sources throughout the day.
