TLDR

  • Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across northern and eastern parts of the country on Thursday.
  • Temperatures will range from 15-20°C in the north and center, and 20-25°C in other regions, with highs of 27°C in the southwest.
  • A stable, spring-like weather pattern is forecast for the weekend, with improving conditions.

Tunisian residents can anticipate a mixed bag of weather as Thursday brings scattered showers and potential thunderstorms to several regions, according to the National Institute of Meteorology (INM). While the north and eastern central areas may experience isolated rain, the rest of the country is expected to see passing clouds. This variability is typical for this time of year as we transition between seasons.

Despite the unsettled conditions on Thursday, there's a promising outlook for the weekend. Bilel Yahiaoui, an engineer at the INM, confirmed that atmospheric conditions are set to stabilize, ushering in a period of pleasant spring weather. This shift will be accompanied by a relative rise in temperatures, with daytime highs reaching up to 27 degrees Celsius in the southwest, offering a welcome respite from the cooler conditions in other areas. Coastal and elevated regions should still be prepared for gusty winds, reaching up to 60 km/h, and a very agitated sea.

For those looking forward to outdoor activities, the upcoming weekend promises clearer skies and more comfortable temperatures. This forecast offers a hopeful sign after a period of unpredictable weather, allowing Tunisians to enjoy the burgeoning spring season. La Presse is committed to keeping you informed about the latest weather developments to help you plan accordingly.
