Tunisia's meteorological office has issued a weather advisory for Wednesday, warning of localized thunderstorms and rain, particularly in the country's western highlands. While the morning is expected to bring dense fog to the northeast coast, the rest of the country will see scattered clouds. As the day progresses, these clouds are predicted to thicken, especially over the northern and central highlands, leading to the formation of isolated storm cells accompanied by rainfall.
The wind is anticipated to be light to moderate from the east, strengthening somewhat by the end of the day along the eastern coast and in southern regions. The sea conditions are expected to remain calm to slightly agitated. These forecasts suggest a day of variable weather across the country, with a notable increase in atmospheric activity in the afternoon.
Temperatures are set to be relatively high, with maximums ranging between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius in the northern, coastal, and highland areas. Inland regions will experience warmer conditions, with temperatures between 31 and 36 degrees Celsius, and potentially reaching up to 38 degrees Celsius in the extreme south. This forecast indicates a typical late spring or early summer weather pattern for Tunisia, with a mix of sunshine, cloud cover, and the possibility of convective weather events.
