The revised bulletin forecasts rainfall of between 20 and 35 millimeters from 3 p.m. Wednesday, extending the warning to areas including Taourirt and Jerada as unsettled weather continues across the country.

The affected provinces are Tangier-Assilah, Fahs-Anjra, M’diq-Fnideq, Tetouan, Larache, Chefchaouen, Ouezzane, Al Hoceima, Nador, Driouch, Berkane, Taourirt, Jerada, Taza, Taounate, Kenitra, Sidi Kacem and Al Haouz.

The updated warning follows earlier forecasts covering a wider area of Morocco, where several inland provinces have already recorded substantial rainfall this week.
