The regions most likely to experience these storms include Kasserine, as well as neighboring areas in Gafsa, Sidi Bouzid, western Kairouan, and southern Kef and Siliana. Bhaba also noted the possibility of flash floods in some wadis within the Kasserine governorate due to the expected rainfall.

The situation is 'normal', and meteorological conditions are expected to remain stable throughout the holiday.

The forecast offers a sense of relief for those celebrating the holiday, as extreme heat is a common concern in the region during this time of year. The prediction of stable, moderate weather, with only localized, short-lived rain events, suggests a comfortable period for holiday activities.
