  • Tunisia is expected to experience cloudy skies with scattered, sometimes stormy, showers in the north and center on Friday evening.
  • Southern regions will have partly cloudy conditions, with night temperatures ranging from 15-20ยฐC in the north/center and 21-27ยฐC in the south.
  • Winds will be from the west in the north and north in the center/south, with rough seas expected along the northern coast.

Tunisians can expect a change in weather patterns as Friday evening approaches, with the National Institute of Meteorology (INM) forecasting cloudy skies and intermittent showers, particularly in the northern and central parts of the country. These areas may experience temporarily stormy conditions, adding a dramatic flair to the evening.

A very cloudy sky will mark this Friday evening with scattered and temporarily stormy rains over the north and center, while the weather will be partly cloudy in the south.

While the north and center brace for potential downpours, the southern regions are predicted to have a more settled, partly cloudy outlook. Temperature-wise, the night will bring cooler conditions to the northern and central areas, with lows ranging between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. The higher elevations in the west might see temperatures dip as low as 13 degrees Celsius. In contrast, the south will remain warmer, with temperatures hovering between 21 and 27 degrees Celsius.

Night temperatures will vary between 15 and 20ยฐC in the north and center. They will be around 13ยฐC in the western highlands and will range between 21 and 27ยฐC in the south.

Wind conditions are also set to be a factor. A westerly wind will prevail in the north, while a northerly breeze will be felt across the center and south. Coastal areas, especially along the northern shores, can anticipate relatively strong winds, and the sea is expected to be agitated to very agitated. Elsewhere, the wind will be moderate, and the sea conditions will be less severe, ranging from slightly to moderately agitated.

The wind will blow from the west in the north and from the north in the center and south. It will be relatively strong near the northern coasts, in the south, and during thunderstorms, and weak to moderate in the rest of the regions.

This forecast suggests a typical late spring weather pattern for Tunisia, characterized by localized convective activity. Residents are advised to stay informed about the evolving weather conditions, especially if traveling through or residing in the affected northern and central regions where the possibility of thunderstorms exists.

The sea will be rough to very rough in the north and slightly rough to rough along the rest of the coasts.
