Morocco is facing a sharp deterioration in weather conditions this weekend as an active low-pressure system brings heavy rain, snowfall, strong winds and dangerous sea conditions, the General Directorate of Meteorology said.
Atlantic seas between Tangier and Agadir are very rough to high, with waves reaching 6 to 8 metres, while the Strait of Gibraltar and the Mediterranean are seeing swells of 4 to 6 metres, prompting warnings against maritime activity, meteorology official Houssine Youaabed told Hespress.
An orange-level alert has been issued for thunderstorms, heavy rainfall and hail in two phases, with accumulations reaching 50 to 80 mm in northern provinces including Tangier-Assilah, Tetouan, Larache and Chefchaouen.
Snowfall of 20 to 50 cm is expected above 1,200 metres in the High and Middle Atlas, with temperatures dropping as low as minus 8 degrees Celsius.
