The weather in Tunisia is expected to change significantly on Thursday, with a partially veiled sky giving way to more unstable conditions in the afternoon. According to the INM, cells of thunderstorms and precipitation will return, bringing an end to the relative calm of the morning. The change in weather will be marked by a thickening of clouds in the western highlands of the North, leading to the appearance of thunderstorms accompanied by rain.

The INM has warned of the risk of hail in certain regions, with localized hail expected under the most intense thunderstorms. In terms of temperature, the forecast is for contrasting values across different regions. On the northern coast, maximum temperatures will be around 28°C, offering a relative respite thanks to the marine influence. Elsewhere in the country, temperatures will rise between 30°C and 35°C, maintaining a hot ambiance before the arrival of the disturbances.

The wind and sea conditions are also expected to be affected by the change in weather. Initially weak to moderate, the wind will strengthen significantly during the night near the eastern coast and under the thunderstorm cells, with gusts potentially exceeding 70 km/h. As a result, the sea, which will be relatively calm in the morning, will become agitated to very agitated on the eastern coast in the afternoon, requiring extreme caution for nautical activities.

The change in weather is expected to bring much-needed rain to some parts of the country, which have been experiencing hot and dry conditions in recent weeks. The INM has urged citizens to be prepared for the changing weather conditions and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The institute has also advised people to stay informed about the latest weather forecast and to follow the instructions of the authorities.

The weather forecast for Thursday is a significant departure from the calm conditions that have been prevailing in Tunisia in recent days. The country's weather is typically characterized by hot summers and mild winters, but the change in weather on Thursday will bring a welcome respite from the heat. The INM has assured that it will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as necessary.

The impact of the changing weather conditions on Thursday is expected to be felt across various sectors, including agriculture, transportation, and daily life. The INM has advised farmers to take necessary precautions to protect their crops from the hail and strong winds. The authorities have also urged drivers to exercise caution on the roads, as the strong winds and rain may affect visibility and road conditions.

In conclusion, the weather forecast for Thursday indicates that Tunisia can expect changeable conditions and thunderstorms, with a risk of hail and strong winds. The INM has urged citizens to be prepared and to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The changing weather conditions will bring a welcome respite from the heat, but also pose a risk to daily life and various sectors.
