The Regional Agricultural Development Commission in Monastir, Tunisia, released a report on rainfall amounts recorded across various districts in the region over the past 24 hours, up to 7:00 AM on Sunday, November 1, 2026. The data shows a disparity in precipitation distribution across the region. The average rainfall recorded in the Monastir region was 12 millimeters, while the accumulated rainfall since September 1, 2026, reached approximately 21% of the annual average.
The district of Qasr Hilal recorded the highest amount of rainfall during this period, with 4 millimeters, followed by Benabla with 3 millimeters. Meanwhile, the districts of Sahel, Qusayba al-Madyuni, Sayada, Lamta, and Bouhajer recorded between 1 and 2 millimeters. On the other hand, no rainfall was recorded in the remaining districts of Monastir, including Al-Wardanin, Al-Makin, Tablaba, Al-Baqalta, Jamal, Zarmdin, and Bin Hassan.
These rainfall amounts are crucial at this time, as they play a significant role in supporting soil moisture and improving conditions for the upcoming agricultural season, particularly for major crops and fruit trees. Additionally, rainfall helps to enhance natural water resources and support environmental balance, especially after periods of drought and scarce precipitation.
The Regional Agricultural Development Commission's report highlights the importance of continued monitoring of rainfall developments and distribution in the coming weeks to assess its impact on the agricultural season and water situation in the Monastir region. The commission's data will be essential in informing decision-makers and stakeholders about the region's hydrological and agricultural conditions.
According to the report, the accumulated rainfall since September 1, 2026, varies across different districts in the region. This disparity in rainfall distribution may have implications for agricultural planning and water resource management in the region. Further reports will provide updated information on the evolving situation.
The Monastir region's agricultural sector is likely to benefit from the recent rainfall, which will help to improve soil conditions and support crop growth. The region's water resources will also be replenished, mitigating the effects of previous droughts and water scarcity.
