Listen to the story

Tunisia's national weather service has announced that rain and thunderstorms are expected in several regions of the country.

The forecast covers the night of Sunday, 1 November 2026. It predicts unsettled weather across parts of Tunisia.

According to the forecast, rainfall will affect multiple areas, with thunderstorms also expected in some places during the night.

This type of weather is common in Tunisia at this time of year, as autumn often brings stronger storms and more rainfall compared to summer.

Weather authorities issue these forecasts to help residents prepare for changing conditions. People are usually advised to take care during storms, especially while travelling.

The Mosaïque FM report did not mention exact rainfall amounts or specific city names, focusing instead on the general national picture.

Such forecasts are released regularly to keep the public informed. They allow people to plan their activities and avoid risks linked to sudden storms.

Thunderstorms can bring strong wind, lightning, and heavy rain in a short time, which may cause local flooding in some areas.

Residents in affected regions are encouraged to stay updated with further weather updates as the night progresses.

Tunisian weather services continue to monitor atmospheric conditions and will issue new forecasts if the situation changes.
