The National Meteorological Institute reported varied rainfall across 11 governorates in Tunisia over the past 24 hours, primarily concentrated in the northwest. The regions experienced different levels of precipitation, with some areas receiving significantly more rain than others. This variability in rainfall is a common occurrence in Tunisia, especially during the transition from autumn to winter.
According to the Institute's statistical data released on Tuesday, the region of Ksab Dam in Bajah governorate recorded the highest amount of rainfall, with 13 millimeters. This was closely followed by the area of Baltah Bouawen in Jendouba governorate, which received 11 millimeters of rain. These two regions stood out in terms of the quantity of rainfall they experienced compared to other parts of the country.
Jendouba governorate witnessed widespread rainfall across most of its delegations. Specifically, the regions of Tabarka, Fernana, and Beni Mtir each recorded 9, 8, and 8 millimeters of rain, respectively. Additionally, the areas of Al-Faiyijah and Ain Draham in Jendouba received 7 millimeters of rainfall. This widespread precipitation in Jendouba indicates a significant weather event in the region.
In Bajah governorate, the amount of rainfall varied across different regions. While some areas like Amdoun received 6 millimeters of rain, others such as Tibar and Wadi Al-Zarqa, as well as Sidi Salem and Bajah Al-Janubiyah, recorded 5, 1, and 1 millimeters, respectively. This variation within the same governorate highlights the localized nature of rainfall events.
Silyanah governorate also experienced rainfall, with Al-Kreib recording 7 millimeters, and Sidi Bourouis and Bou Aradah each receiving 3 millimeters. In Al-Kaf governorate, the regions of Nabbar, Wadi Al-Mallaq, and Al-Tawirf recorded 5, 4, and 3 millimeters of rain, respectively. These figures indicate that while the rainfall was widespread, its intensity varied significantly from one location to another.
The rainfall event is part of a larger weather pattern in Tunisia, which is expected to see temperatures slightly above average during the months of November, December, and January. The National Meteorological Institute's data suggests that such rainfall events are part of the seasonal variability in the region. Understanding these patterns is crucial for agriculture, water resource management, and daily life.
As Tunisia moves into the winter months, the distribution and amount of rainfall will continue to be an important factor in the country's climate. The varied rainfall across different regions in the past 24 hours underscores the need for continuous monitoring and accurate forecasting to support various sectors of the economy and society.
