Morocco’s General Directorate of Meteorology issued an orange level alert warning of strong wind gusts accompanied by sandstorms and blowing dust from Thursday to Friday in several provinces.
The agency said winds of 90 to 100 kmh with sandstorms are expected from 9 a.m. Thursday to 9 a.m. Friday in Chtouka Ait Baha, Taroudant, Tiznit, Tata, Agadir Ida Ou Tanane, Inezgane Ait Melloul, Guelmim and Sidi Ifni.
Separately, gusts of 80 to 90 kmh with blowing dust are forecast from 9 a.m. to 11 p.m. Thursday in Chichaoua, Al Haouz and Ouarzazate.
Authorities typically urge residents in affected areas to take precautions, especially drivers on exposed roads where reduced visibility can occur during sand and dust events. Travelers are advised to follow official updates and adjust plans if conditions worsen.
