Torrential rains struck Morocco over night. In Fez, the thunderstorms were spectacular and the heavy rains caused some localised flooding.
However, on the Atlantic coast, some 65 mm of rain in the area around Essaouira drowned four people with another two still missing. More than 60 head of cattle were also swept away when the Temanar river flooded.
The rains also caused major damage to many houses and shops. Streets in Essaouira were flooded and many other roads were also cut off.
A clean-up has began with help from the civil protection and local authorities.
More rain is expected between now and Saturday, but not expected to be as severe.
