Weather Alert: Powerful Depression Expected in Tunisia

Tunisia is bracing for a potent weather system as an expert warns of an intense depression expected to hit the country on Friday. Meteorologist Amer Bahba has issued a call for heightened vigilance, advising citizens to closely monitor weather bulletins as the situation evolves rapidly. The forecast indicates substantial rainfall and hail, with the western and border regions, from Kef to Tozeur, likely to bear the brunt of the storm.

This anticipated depression arrives during a period of volatile spring weather, characterized by significant meteorological variations. Several governorates, particularly in the center-west and northwest like Kasserine, Siliana, and Kef, have already experienced considerable atmospheric disturbances, including thunderstorms and heavy showers. These storm cells are now moving towards Beja and Jendouba, promising more rain and electrical activity.

While the eastern and coastal areas, including Bizerte and Greater Tunis, may see some residual effects, the intensity is expected to be lower. The expert anticipates a gradual weakening of the storm activity by late evening on Friday. Despite the potential for localized rain on Thursday afternoon, the overall phenomena are considered typical of spring convective rains, known for their swift and sometimes unpredictable nature. The public is urged to stay informed and prepared for these conditions.
