Weather in Tunisia in winter

In winter, Tunisia is certainly not like our region: everywhere there is greenery, like in summer or spring, but at this time it is quite rainy in the resorts of Tunisia.

Daytime temperatures can fluctuate, the thermometer rises to +16°C, +18°C. Climatic conditions can change dramatically. Bright sunshine can suddenly give way to rain. At night it is already cool: in the southern and central parts of the country the temperature reaches +6°C, +8°C, but in the desert the temperature can be minus.

Tunisia in December

In December, the temperature during the day, compared to November, drops by a couple of degrees, on average the thermometer rises to a maximum of +18°C, at night the air cools down to +13°C.

Which resort should you choose?

It is warmest in December at the following resorts in the country: Mahdia, Monastir, Sousse.

Tunisia in January

In January, Tunisia experiences an increased level of humidity, which is caused in particular by significant precipitation. Although, according to weather forecasters, the January rainfall is slightly less than December. The exception is the capital of the country, where the amount of precipitation does not change and on average it rains for about 11 days. High humidity is also relevant on the northern coast, where the landscape is elevated. The north wind brings humid air masses, which when colliding with mountains become rain.

January is considered the coldest month of the year. However, you should not miss the fact that the weather is capricious and fickle, so who knows, perhaps in January you will be able to experience short-term warming.

Which resort should you choose?

January is not suitable for a comfortable vacation, especially for those tourists who do not like rainy weather. But if you still plan to visit the country, choose any resort.

Tunisia in February

Do you want to spend your holiday in peace without spending a lot of money? Then in February it's time to pack your bags for a trip to Tunisia. It is worth noting right away that despite these advantages, climatic conditions may not meet expectations. It is unlikely that you will be able to take a walk in shorts or a sundress or sunbathe at this time. But if you don’t like stuffiness, then February weather is just what you need. Unlike the previous month, in February the air temperature drops by a couple of degrees, but precipitation becomes slightly less.

Which resort should you choose?

In February, you can stay at any resort in Tunisia; there is no big difference in temperature.

With the onset of spring, the amount of precipitation decreases significantly, but this does not apply to the northern part of Tunisia, where rainy weather still prevails. In the morning it can still be noticeably fresh, but at night it can be quite cold. In April the time for excursions begins, and in May the beach season can begin.

Tunisia in March

Spring is slowly but surely replacing winter and every day the air temperature is warming up more and more. The weather is gradually getting better and better and at noon it is already possible to undress a little. However, March can bring a surprise in the form of rain or cold wind, so you shouldn’t relax too much.

Which resort should you choose?

It is best to opt for coastal resorts in March, due to the fact that heavy rainfall may occur in the northern part of the country. March is warmest in Sousse.

Tunisia in April

April already brings joy to all tourists with sunny days and cloudless skies. African spring is radically different from ours! What can I say, by our standards this month resembles early summer. Climatic conditions are getting better every day and you can see how the flow of tourists is slowly growing. It’s still cool to swim, but the bravest ones are already opening the beach season. The water does not have time to warm up by this time, but sunbathing is just in time, because the number of sunny days is increasing, and precipitation is observed less and less.

Which resort should you choose?

In April you can choose any resort. In principle, sunny weather is slowly but surely establishing itself in the country. The only thing worth paying attention to is that it can still be quite rainy in the northern part of the country.

Tunisia in May

The May weather is very reminiscent of real summer, especially if you arrive at the country's resorts after the 15th. The air temperature is comfortable not only during the day, but also at night. At the end of spring, a decrease in temperature is possible, but generally this situation does not last long.

Which resort should you choose?

May days are characterized by comfortable climatic conditions, so choose any resort in the country and you won’t go wrong!

In June the air already warms up to +30°C and you can relax to the fullest. Although the air temperature is quite high, there is no heat here, and all thanks to the refreshing breeze, which makes holidays in Tunisian resorts even more comfortable. In addition, at this time you can safely start swimming! In mid-summer it is quite hot during the day, but at night the temperature drops to comfortable levels.

Tunisia in August

August pleases all sun and beach lovers. But for those who cannot stand or simply do not like the heat, it is better not to plan their vacation at this time. Indeed, in August the sun does not spare anyone - neither man nor nature. The thermometer is inexorably creeping up and the figure +33°C is by no means the limit.

Which resort should you choose?

All Tunisian resorts are hot in August, so there are no special recommendations regarding choosing a place to relax.

Weather in Tunisia in autumn

What is African autumn like? While summer months are not particularly different from each other, autumn still has some features in each month.


With the onset of autumn days, the heat gradually recedes and holidays in Tunisian resorts become more comfortable, and for some, more acceptable, compared to the summer heat. The Mediterranean Sea has warmed up well over the previous months, when there was unbearable heat, so in September the velvet season comes into its own at the resorts. Showers can be very rare in September, but they bring freshness rather than coolness.

In October, the so-called African autumn begins in Tunisia. During the daytime, you can still wear light clothes, but in the evening, it is best to dress warmer. Towards mid-autumn, the amount of precipitation increases, and the water in the sea is cool.

In November, precipitation becomes more and almost all Tunisian resorts experience cooling. In a word, the country is preparing for winter.

Tunisia in September

If you buy a tour to Tunisia in September, consider yourself to have hit the jackpot! This is equivalent to a time machine, thanks to which you will instantly go from rainy autumn to warm summer. A great way to relax comfortably in the fall if you didn’t have time or weren’t able to do it during the summer months.

It can be argued that this month is one of the best. Firstly, the sweltering heat that burned everything around in the summer is gradually receding. Secondly, the influx of tourists is decreasing. Thirdly, the resorts of Tunisia are still a great place to spend your vacation.

Which resort should you choose?

All Tunisian resorts are equally comfortable in September.

Tunisia in October

If you think that in October there is no point in planning your vacation somewhere, since nature is already fresh like autumn, you are mistaken. In Tunisia at this time the velvet season is in full swing! The sweltering heat has already moved far back, and even at noon you can be under open air and be completely safe. October climatic conditions are the best suited for those tourists who can hardly tolerate or cannot tolerate the heat at all. In addition, at this time elderly people or those suffering from diseases of the cardiovascular system can come here. October is the ideal time for a holiday with children in Tunisia.

This month there is some instability in the weather. It mainly manifests itself in precipitation, which becomes more frequent during this period, as well as cloudy days. Moreover, there may not be any rain, but the sky will be hidden by clouds. Therefore, it is almost pointless to guess when the bright sun will appear in the sky again and delight everyone with its rays. But according to weather forecasters, this month there are on average about 4 to 9 rainy days.

Which resort should you choose?

In October, the most favorable weather sets in at Tunisian resorts, so the choice of a place to relax depends solely on the preferences of each tourist. Concerning climatic conditions, then almost all resorts in the country will delight you with warm and sunny weather. In addition, the water temperature is still suitable for swimming.

Tunisia in November

November weather already completely devoid of heat. Almost radically begins to rebuild temperature regime and during the day the thermometer does not exceed +20…21°C. The nights in the country are cold. In the desert at night the temperature can drop to 0°C. In November, winds become more active, which is a seasonal feature of the climate. Their influence is most noticeable in the coastal parts of the country. Another distinctive feature of the November climate is an increase in precipitation. Thus, the number of rainy days in the country reaches 9. However, precipitation is short-lived and not too intense. The most precipitation is in the northern part of the country.

Which resort should you choose?

Are you planning a holiday in Tunisia in November? Then it is best to opt for the resort areas: Sousse, Hammamet or Monastir because the most preserved warm weather, when compared with other parts of the country, your November holiday will become truly comfortable.

Climate of Tunisia

In Tunisia, the weather is determined by two types of climate. The northern part of the country and the coast, where resort areas are concentrated, have a subtropical Mediterranean climate, which is very comfortable for vacationers. The interior and southern regions are characterized by the tropical desert climate of Tunisia: hot Saharan winds blow here and precipitation is extremely rare.

As a result, in coastal areas the heat is not felt as strongly; it is moderated by the sea breeze. Daily temperature changes in resort areas are not too sharp, and in the desert frosts often occur at night, even if during the day the air temperature reaches +25 °C.

The maximum precipitation occurs in the mountainous regions, while in the south its volume does not exceed 100 mm per year, and some desert areas are completely bypassed by rain for several years.

The optimal period to visit Tunisia is the off-season: all autumn and spring, as well as June. The swimming season, as a rule, opens in May and ends in October.

Weather and climate in Tunisia by month

December and January are very similar in terms of weather: in the coastal strip, the thermometer at this time rarely rises above +17 °C during the day and +10 °C at night. In the capital, daily temperature changes are greater: at night it gets colder to +6 °C. High humidity remains on the coast, often it's raining, and cold winds, by African standards, blow almost throughout the country.

In February still damp and windy. The weather is changeable: sometimes warm, sometimes cold. On the eastern coast of Tunisia, the climate is milder: in Sousse, Monastir and Hammamet there is less rainfall and air temperatures are higher than in the north of the country.

In March During the day you can feel the warmth of spring, and in the evening the February coolness returns. The air quickly warms up on the coast, and on the island of Jebra it even gets warmer to +20 °C. The sea water is cold - about +14 °C.

April It is ideal for excursions and trips around Tunisia, but do not forget that hot “chili” winds blow in the desert at this time. In resort regions, it warms up to +20...+22 °C during the day, and gets cold to +10...+12 °C at night.

In May Tunisia is warm and the climate is comfortable for families with children. During the day at the resorts it is about +24 °C, the water warms up to +22 °C - the temperature is suitable for swimming, although the weather in Tunisia is changeable and it rains.

In June The beach season officially opens. The wind from the sea subsides, sunny weather sets in for a long time on the coast, +27...+28 °C during the day, and in the south of the country the arid climate makes itself felt again.

July and August, first half of September- hot season, time for a traditional beach holiday, when the air temperature at the resorts reaches +30...+35 °C, and the water, which has finally warmed to +28 °C, tirelessly attracts swimmers. In the second half of September You can feel the wind picking up and getting cooler, but only by 2-3C. The hot season in the Sahara forces you to abandon excursions in the desert.

In October The holiday season is experiencing a new phase. The climate of Tunisia at this time is most attractive for those who avoid the heat, but want to have time to swim in the sea and lie on the beach without fear of sunburn. Returns tourist interest for excursions, travel around the country, walking. The air temperature in the resorts of Tunisia is +24…+26 °C, the water temperature is about +23 °C.

In November air humidity increases on the eve of a rainy winter. The November weather in Tunisia is less and less pleasant with sunny days, and the water cools down to +17 ° C, which negates the desire to swim.
