The alert follows Morocco's ongoing recovery efforts from the devastating floods that hit the southeastern provinces over the weekend.

The Moroccan Directorate of Meteorology (DGM) has issued an orange alert, warning of severe thunderstorms, hail, and strong winds in several regions across the country.

The alert is in effect for Oued Ed-Dahab and Aousserd on Tuesday, and will apply to Figuig, Jerada, Oujda-Angad, Taourirt, Boulemane, Midelt, and Errachidia from Wednesday to Thursday.

Residents in these areas are advised to take necessary precautions, as there is a risk of localized flooding, hail, and strong wind gusts that could cause damage.

Heavy rainfall is also expected, with some areas possibly receiving up to 40 millimetres of rain, which could exacerbate the risk of floods.

This warning comes as Morocco continues its recovery from devastating floods that swept through southeastern provinces over the weekend.

The floods resulted in the tragic loss of 11 lives and caused widespread damage to both infrastructure and property. Rescue efforts are still ongoing, with authorities searching for nine missing individuals.

The government has announced that it is working to assess the full extent of the damage and is providing assistance to affected communities. The floods have also disrupted essential services, including electricity, water supply, and telecommunications in some of the worst-hit areas.
