Morocco FLOODS!!!!

[macca]

are you looking at the same morroco that we are ???????????

I was in Morocco last week, left on Saturday morning and the rain was very bad, roads with landslides over them and so on, if that has continued any further then I can imagine the results.

On a positive note, I will make a full post about my recent visit shortly.

What Morocco are you looking at?

Take the rose tinted specs off. Many killed again in the North. It will take months to clean up the area. The weather all over the world is changing. Look at the amount of snow in the UK, that is not usual for November.
Morocco has had heavy rains for the last 4 years now, usually around Febuary/March though. Don't be suprised if it gets worse next year.

It is not just Morocco that is having floods and heavy rain, other countries in different continants are also experiencing the same.

I've been many times. All I said was it was heavy rain last weekend (even at Alcudia Smir), There was much disrupion to roads, including entire roads being covered by rocks and other debris, this was on the road to the Tangier Med port.

Many thanks for misrepresenting what I said, much appreciated.

I have been to the site, the rain was torrential at times and I was stranded for a day as the roads could not be passed.
It is obvious that drainage is something that is lacking not just on the site of Alcudia but all over Morocco. It is easier for the authorities to pay people to fix the same damage each year than to build the proper infrastructure in the first place.
I have not been to Morocco during winter, so please fogive my lack of experience regarding this topic, but for me...I will lock up and leave the site until Spring.

In the meantime .. the flats are STILL getting damaged and the swimming pool lining has come away AGAIN.
See additional new topic.
