A low-pressure system is moving into Tunisia, bringing with it a chance of rain and thunderstorms. According to reports from Jawhara FM, the weather will be suitable for rain to fall in the northern coastal regions tonight, with the possibility of heavy rain in the northwestern regions. The rain is expected to spread to other areas, including the central and southern regions, on Friday.
The heaviest rainfall is expected to occur in the regions of Zaghwan, Silyana, Sidi Bouzid, and Qairouan, as well as along the coast. Residents can expect between 30 and 50 millimeters of rain, with some areas potentially seeing up to 70 millimeters. In addition to the rain, hail and strong winds are also expected to occur during thunderstorms.
The rain is expected to bring much-needed relief to the country, but it also poses a risk of flooding and other disruptions. Residents are advised to stay informed about the latest weather conditions and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The weather alert was issued by the national meteorological service, which closely monitors weather conditions in Tunisia.
In addition to the rain, temperatures are also expected to drop significantly, particularly in the northern regions. Daytime temperatures will range from 20 to 24 degrees Celsius, with cooler temperatures expected in the mountains and warmer temperatures in the southern regions. The cooler weather is expected to provide a welcome respite from the heat.
The rain and cooler weather are expected to have a positive impact on the country's agriculture, which has been struggling due to drought conditions. The rain will help to replenish water sources and provide much-needed moisture to crops. However, the heavy rainfall also poses a risk of damage to crops and infrastructure.
The Tunisian authorities have urged residents to be prepared for the changing weather conditions. The civil protection agency has reported 677 interventions over the past 24 hours, highlighting the need for residents to be vigilant and take necessary precautions. The agency has also advised residents to stay informed about the latest weather conditions and to follow evacuation instructions if necessary.
The cooler weather is expected to persist for several days, with clear skies and calm conditions expected to return by the weekend.
