When is the best time to go on vacation to Tunisia? Seasons and weather by month. Weather in Tunisia by month and water temperature. New data Tunisia air temperature by month

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, it often rains, and cold winds, by African standards, blow across almost the entire 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. Tourist interest in excursions, traveling around the country, and walking is returning. 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.

Africa has always been interesting to tourists. It's not just the pyramids, the sphinx and the Safari jeep rally. There is a unique state of Tunisia, immersed in bright greenery and filled with the refreshing breath of the Mediterranean Sea, which has long firmly held the status of a luxury resort.

What is the secret of such global success, and what has become more tempting than the weather and water temperature in Tunisia by month for vacationers in 2019, read the tourist report.

Weather and climate

The borders of North Africa are washed by the Mediterranean Sea, this is the subtropical zone of the Earth with the prevailing characteristics of a coastal climate, and it is here that the state of Tunisia is located. The capital is the city of Tunisia; the population of this North African state exceeds 10 million people.

A number of factors are of particular importance in shaping the climate of Tunisia:

1. Close proximity to the Mediterranean Sea;
2. Border with the Sahara Desert;
3. 1/3 of the state's area is the spurs of the Atlas mountain system;
4. Due to the extension of the territory to the south towards the equator, more than half of the area is desert.

In other words, the closer to the northern sea border, the more developed the tourism business is, since the weather in Tunisia in this area is truly heavenly at any time of the year! Tunisian beaches with white sand, sea breezes and jellyfish, green oases, juicy fruits ripened under the sweet sun - this is the dream of a traveler tired of the continental cold and city smog!

Water temperature by month

The Mediterranean Sea is a warm mass of water that refreshes the coastal zone of Tunisia in the summer and warms Tunisia in the winter. The average water temperature in Tunisia in June reaches 25 o C and remains almost until October.

To accurately track the dynamics of temperature and climate indicators, you should know the changes in weather and water temperature in Tunisia by month.

• Winter months (December, January, February)– the air temperature only reaches +14 o C in December, and that is due to the hot surface of the land in the warm months of the year. February is considered the coldest. The thermometer does not rise above +7 o C for the entire month.
• At this time, cold rains fall throughout Tunisia, but warm sea currents allow the water temperature to drop only to +15 o C. On the coast of Tunisia, almonds bloom in winter, and the plains are covered with wild grasses.
• Spring months (March, April, May)– this is rapid and high-quality warming on all fronts. Already in March, the weather in Tunisia becomes similar to summer: the temperature on land is up to +20 o C, and in the sea about +16 o C. The active tourist season begins in April.
• It is characteristic that an almost stable dose of precipitation falls monthly: short-term rains with thunderstorms 6-7 days a month. This surprise of nature does not at all overshadow the travel experience, but, on the contrary, gives a charge of freshness and mood.
• Summer months (June, July, August)- this is the peak of heat, scorching sun, which is tamed by thunderstorms at least 2 times a month.
• The daytime temperature during the summer goes from +30 (in June) to +50 o C (in August). And at night, the saving sea breeze drops the readings to +30 even after the hottest day. The temperature of coastal waters is around +23 o C.
• It is in the summer from mid-August to early September that there is a danger of witnessing the jellyfish season, when these marine inhabitants cover the entire coast. Entering the sea is slippery and disgusting, so it is better not to plan a trip during this period.
• Autumn weather in Tunisia reverses the heat. Cooler nights are coming, and during the day in Tunisia in September the thermometer only heats up to +30 o C.
• The closer winter gets, the more rainy days there are and the lower the air temperature (up to +22 o C). The water is also cooling slowly and will reach a position of +20 o C by the end of November.

How much does a trip to Tunisia cost?

Prices for a tour to Tunisia cannot be called exorbitant; on the contrary, it is practically budget tourism:

1. The cost of a trip for two for a week with accommodation in 4* or 5* hotels in the cold and rainy months of the year (December, October) starts at 30,000 rubles;
2. In all other months of the year, a week-long tour for two will cost from 40,000 rubles;
3. There is always the opportunity to buy last-minute tours or at a promotion (discount);

Of course, the total cost of the tour depends on the territorial remoteness of the traveler’s city of arrival, place of accommodation, type of food, quantity and quality of services and excursions.

Mediterranean Sea in Tunisia

The coastline of the state is about 1,500 km, of which more than 600 m are amazing sandy beaches, the snow-white color of which makes a unique contrast to the sea and green palm trees. The weather in Tunisia changes according to the whims of the sea, i.e. directly depends on underwater currents near the coast of the state, on storms and breezes.

• Only thanks to the Mediterranean maritime climate, even in winter the air will not become colder. And in the summer, the northern regions of the country don’t care at all that very close to them is the world’s largest desert, the Sahara, where there is no water and hot air above +50 o C.
• The wind from the desert can bring dry heat to the coast, but the sea breeze will immediately counterattack, which means the residents will not feel the scorching attack at all.
• The coastal climate allows for the active development of agriculture in the northern regions of the state. Olive fields (4th place in export in the world), vineyards, dates, figs and other plantings grow well here, bloom and bear fruit.

Tourist map of Tunisia

What can Tunisia show sophisticated tourists? The great historical past of this state is represented by world-famous monuments:

• Seven architectural monuments of the Roman Empire;
• The Ottoman Empire left the Bordeaux Museum here, and a little later the Sousse Archaeological Museum and the country's main maritime museum, the Salambo Oceanographic Museum, appeared;
• It is worth visiting the excavations of Carthage, viewing the architecture of the city of Sidi Bou Said, the medina of Tunis and Sousse, the amphitheater in El Jem;
• Visit the island of Djerba and the oldest synagogue in the world, El Ghriba;
• There is not a single tourist who would not want to visit the Sahara Desert (on camels, jeeps or on foot) and watch the sunrise there;
• It is interesting to look at the national culture of the Berbers (indigenous people);
• Travelers will enjoy the country's cuisine and traditional drinks.

The tourist map can be supplemented with many more attractions of this small state.

The best hotels with a private beach

/ Climate of Tunisia

Climate of Tunisia

The climate of Tunisia is subtropical Mediterranean, with hot, dry summers and relatively cool, wet winters. The difference between the average temperatures of the hottest and coldest months does not exceed 15 - 20°C.

The relatively small territory of the state is dominated by several climatic zones, due to the fact that the country is practically “sandwiched” between the Mediterranean Sea and the Sahara Desert. The direct influence of the sea on climate is most significant in the northern part of the country. The summer heat on the coast is not too noticeable, as it is moderated by the sea breeze. The influence of the sea also affects the Sahel, the coastal strip in eastern Tunisia, where cool winds somewhat relieve the summer heat.

In the summer, hot southern winds blow through Tunisia, blowing from the sultry Sahara, and dryness and heat prevail throughout the country right up to the northernmost coastal regions. The most difficult to endure is the drying southern wind “sirocco”, which blows every year for many days in a row. During Sirocco, air temperatures rise to +53°C (!!!) and even higher. During such periods, crops often die and trees dry out.

Winter in Tunisia

The winter period in Tunisia begins with the onset of December. The Tunisian winter is very warm by Russian standards, but not for the hot African residents - in winter they wear down jackets and hats, and they cover the faces of their children with scarves. The average daytime air temperature in December in Tunisia is +17°C, the nights are surprisingly cold - up to +8°C. In the early morning the thermometer can sometimes be seen at 0°C!

Winter weather in Tunisia is very changeable - sometimes an icy downpour, sometimes a pleasantly warming sun. One cannot even dream of such a winter phenomenon as snow here, although in December there is an increased probability of precipitation; although the rains are frequent, they do not last long. In winter, the greenery of the subtropics does not fade, olive trees ripen and even some cheerful flowers bloom. Swimming, of course, is a big question, since the water temperature drops to +16°C in December.

In January, Tunisia is quite cold by local standards. On the east coast of the country ( Sousse , Hammamet, Monastir) the average air temperature does not rise above +16°C during the day, and approximately +8°C at night. In the north of the country it is a little colder: in the capital of the state and some other cities (Tabarka, Bizerte) the air warms up to +15°C during the day, and drops to +7°C at night. The sea is often calm and deceptively attractive for swimming. Sea water temperatures are about +14°C - you can only swim in special heated pools.

January often sees heavy rainfall. The likelihood that it may rain at any moment is quite high. Humidity this month is also quite high - 77%. January in Tunisia is the kingdom of citrus fruits, apples and pears. Wildflowers come to life, and in general, a certain inspired anticipation reigns all around, almond trees are blooming.

February in Tunisia is perhaps the most stormy, rebellious and unpredictable month of the year. This is a transitional month - a time of struggle between two opponents - winter and spring. A time of seething gray waves on the sea and gusty winds against a cloudless sky. There is plenty of precipitation in February, but there are also more and more sunny days. The northern regions of Tunisia experience heavy rainfall at this time of year. On the east coast of the country the climate is milder: in Sousse, Monastir and Hammamet the amount of precipitation is lower than in other areas. The driest area is Jebra Island, which receives the least amount of rain. Considering the intensity of precipitation, air humidity is very high - 76%.

The average daytime air temperature in February in the capital of Tunisia and in the northern regions does not rise above +17°C; at night the temperature can drop to +10°C. Similar weather conditions are observed in the east of the country, the only exception is the island of Jebra, where the air warms up to +18°C during the day. The weather in Tunisia in February does not allow sea swimming - although on rare days the sea is calm, the water temperature discourages even the desire to “wet your feet” - the sea in February cools down to +14°C. Also, it is not the best time to sunbathe on the beach - here you will simply be blown away by gusty winds.

Spring in Tunisia

The spring period begins in Tunisia in March. At the beginning of the month, the influence of winter is still felt, however, in general, the weather becomes warmer. And if at the beginning of the month the average daily air temperature in Tunisia barely reaches +18°C, then towards the end of March, at noon, the thermometer can reach +25°C. This weather is typical for cities such as Tunisia , Sousse, Monastir, Hammamet. It will be very warm on the island of Djerba. In the northern regions of Tunisia (in Bizerte, Tabarka), after sunset the thermometer drops to +11°C.

In March, strong, piercing winds continue to blow throughout the country. Lying on the beach is still very, very chilly, but exposing certain parts of your body to the sun and getting a good tan is quite possible. At this time, only walruses and divers can be found in the sea; the water temperature in the sea in March is no more than +15°C.

April - mid-spring is the best time for an excursion holiday in Tunisia. The average daily air temperature in April in Hammamet, Sousse, Monastir is about +20°C, on the island of Jebra the temperature is even higher - up to +22°C. Warmer nights on the east coast of the country are up to +15°C, in the capital it is a little cooler – +12°C. The air in April has already warmed up enough and you can find sunbathing holidaymakers on the beach, but the sea remains cold, you can’t swim yet - the water temperature is only +16°C. In April, delicious Tunisian strawberries ripen, as well as many pears, apples and oranges.

The weather in April is sometimes capricious, and instead of the bright spring sun, gray clouds fly into the sky. Most often it rains in April in the northern regions of the country - on the island of Djerba there is the least rainfall. Sometimes in April another misfortune comes - at this time you can encounter hot “chile” winds that blow from the deserts of North Africa. Such winds often cause strong dust storms, which create constant discomfort for both the local population and visitors. At such moments, it is best not to leave the premises, and before going outside you need to protect your head and face with a scarf, and your eyes with special glasses, because sand and dust move at high speed.

May is the last spring month in Tunisia, and the first month conducive to a beach holiday in the country is, so to speak, the beginning of the season. Temperatures throughout the country are warming up to very high levels. On Jebra Island the air warms up to +26°C during the day, and at night the temperature does not drop below +16°C. In Tabarka and Tunisia, thermometers show +24°C during the day, and after sunset the temperature drops to +13°C. Similar weather conditions are observed in Sousse, Monastir and Hammamet.

A characteristic feature of holidays in Tunisia in May are often quite strong winds. Also, the water temperature cannot pamper you with its warmth - in May it reaches only +18°C, therefore, only the bravest daredevils climb into the water. At the end of spring, precipitation is a rather rare occurrence: light rains occur only in certain regions of the country.

Summer in Tunisia

Summer is the high season for holidays in Tunisia. It is during this period that the weather conditions are the most comfortable - the air and water temperatures rise significantly, in the second half of June the strong wind subsides and the sea ceases to be stormy. On the east coast of the country, the air temperature during the daytime reaches +28°C, and at night it becomes a little cooler - up to +19°C. On the island of Djerba, the air temperature is traditionally higher and amounts to +29°C. The water in the Mediterranean Sea has already warmed up significantly for swimming - its temperature in June is +21°C. In the south of the country, in June, there is practically no precipitation; in other regions of Tunisia (in particular, in the capital) the number of rainy days is significantly reduced.

July is the peak of summer, and a very high season for a beach holiday in Tunisia. It is clear why: in the eastern resorts of the country, such as Monastir, Sousse, Hammamet and Mahdia, dry and hot weather sets in - the air temperature at this time rises to +35°C. Despite such high air temperatures, it is quite comfortable to relax here, since a fresh sea breeze blows here very often. It gets a little colder at night – the thermometer shows + 20°C. July nights are velvety warm, quiet, filled with the aromas of the sea and flowering plants.

On the southernmost resort of the country - Jebra Island, during the day the air heats up to +36°C, and the night temperature here is also higher - up to +22°C. In the northern part of the country (Bizerte, Tabarka, Tunisia) the temperature during the day reaches +33°C, and at night drops to +20°C. The weather is conducive to swimming in the Mediterranean Sea, especially since the water by this time warms up to +25°C.

August is the hottest month of the year. The peak of the tourist season, the most comfortable and most expensive month. In August the heat is at an extremely high maximum. For example, sometimes the air in desert areas warms up to +50°C (!!!), of course, in coastal areas the temperature does not reach such critical levels. In seaside resorts, the average daily temperature in August is +35°C; after sunset the temperature drops to +25°C. It is dangerous to be outside without a hat during the day - you can get sunstroke.

Water treatments are also great in August - the water in the sea becomes very warm - up to +26°C, so nothing can prevent vacationers from staying at sea for a long time. The only thing that can mar the tourists’ holiday is a large number of jellyfish, which traditionally gather in August off the coast of Tunisia. It is at the end of summer that marine life begins to become active. The largest number of jellyfish accumulate off the coast of Monastir and Sousse; in the vicinity of Hammamet there are significantly fewer of them. As a rule, these jellyfish are difficult to see in the water; they are practically transparent and very small. Jellyfish burns do not pose a threat to human life, but they are very painful and can cause allergic reactions. Be sure to take these circumstances into account, especially if you are planning a trip with small children.

Autumn in Tunisia

September is the velvet season in Tunisia. In the first half of the month, summer-like weather remains throughout Tunisia; after the 15th, the air temperature at night drops significantly and the number of rainy days increases. The air in the capital of Tunisia in September remains very warm during the day - up to +30°C; at night the temperature drops to +19°C. The main resorts maintain ideal weather conditions for a beach holiday. The air in Monastir, Hammamet, Sousse, Mahdia and on the island of Djerba warms up to +32°C during the day, and at night the temperature drops to +22°C.

Often, in the coastal regions of the country, gusts of wind intensify and strong waves appear at sea. Storms at sea are also possible in September, when the water temperature drops by several degrees. In the second half of the month, ridges of clouds increasingly appearing in the sky remind us that autumn is just around the corner. This month is good to go on excursions, for example, to Roman ruins or to the Sahara.

October is a time of changing weather in Tunisia. Warm and sunny days give way to rainy and cloudy ones. The air temperature in October is still quite comfortable for relaxation and, even in the northern regions, remains quite high - up to +25°C. At night it becomes much cooler, the thermometer drops to +16°C. In resort areas (Monastir, Sousse, Hammamet, Mahdia, Djerba) it is even warmer - up to +26°C during the day, and at night the air cools to +18°C.

The sea has not yet had time to cool down much - the water temperature is +21°C, however, sea water may seem cool in the mornings, especially in the second half of October. But those who want to swim may be hindered by the strong wind from the sea, which constantly blows on the coast. Thanks to it, complete calm at sea can very quickly develop into a strong storm. The mass tourist season ends in October.

In November, you can clearly feel the approach of winter - the temperature of water and air decreases, gusts of wind increase significantly, and no one is surprised by strong and frequent rains. At the country's seaside resorts - in Sousse, Hammamet, Mahdia and on the island of Djerba - the temperature is still quite high, around +21°C during the day. This serenity is disturbed only by strong gusts of wind, which will dominate here until spring. The sun does not appear in the sky so often anymore; it is not at all hot in the open air.

The water temperature in the sea drops to +18°C, so spending time on the shore or swimming will not be comfortable. Rains irrigate African soil more and more frequently, coupled with strong winds and sand, chilly nights and high air humidity.

Precipitation in Tunisia is unevenly distributed. The eastern coast of the country (from the Gulf of Hammamet to the south) receives less rain than the northern one, and in the south, as it approaches the Sahara Desert (from the Gulf of Gabes to the border with Libya), it becomes less and less rainy. Annual precipitation ranges from 100 mm in the south to 1,500 mm in mountainous areas; in some desert areas there is no rain for many years in a row. The wettest month is October, the driest months are July and August.

When to go to Tunisia. The tourist season in Tunisia begins in May and ends at the end of October. During this period, the water and air temperatures are most optimal for a beach holiday. The highest and most expensive months for holidays in Tunisia are July and August. At this time, the country is very hot, and the sea water temperature reaches its maximum levels. In September, the heat gradually subsides, the number of vacationers decreases, and hotel prices go down. October is a month for everyone, and although the water temperature in the sea is still suitable for swimming, the weather can be pretty unlucky.

But many tourists vacation in Tunisia all year round. The period from November to the end of April is cool and does not allow sunbathing and swimming. At this time, connoisseurs of thalassotherapy come to the country - thalassotherapy has been elevated by Tunisians to a real cult and is famous in this country throughout the world. A great way to improve your health and get a little closer to the ideal of beauty. At this time, prices for accommodation in the best five-star hotels are minimal, and there are much fewer vacationers than in summer.

March and April are the best months for sightseeing tours and visiting the Sahara. At this time it is sunny and not hot here, in addition to the small number of tourists, the holiday will be very comfortable.

Tours to Tunisia – special offers of the day

Most hotels start accepting guests only in mid-May. Consider this fact when choosing a month for your trip to Tunisian beaches.

Can rain ruin your holiday?

Tunisia is an arid country, and most of this rare rainfall occurs in winter, when few tourists come to the country. The level of precipitation is approximately the same in all Tunisian resorts. Look at the comparison table below, the average figures are given.

For comparison, the norm of precipitation in Moscow is 700 millimeters per year; in the resorts of Tunisia the figures are on average two times less.

In the summer months, about 80 millimeters of precipitation falls in Moscow and other cities in central Russia; in Tunisian cities, no more than 20. Rain cannot spoil your vacation in June, July and August. It is unlikely that you will experience any rain at all during these months.

At the end of April, May and October, the chances of getting rained on are quite significant. But rains occur in the late evening and at night; during the day on the beach, the chances of getting caught in the rain are almost zero.

In Tunisia there are no torrential downpours that last all day. It rains for 5-10 minutes, then quickly subsides. The photo on the left shows the consequences of rain in , the photo was taken at the very beginning of May 2016. As you can see, it’s okay, there are no puddles on the asphalt at all.

However, rains in Tunisia have an unpleasant feature: they are always accompanied by strong winds - up to 10 m/s, rarely up to 15 m/s. It is extremely unpleasant to be on the street at such a moment. Moisture or puddles on the asphalt quickly dry up, and tourists do not even suspect that it rained at night.

Air temperature – maximum during the day

The summer months offer warm weather during the day. Fortunately, in Tunisia there are no extremely high temperatures like in Egypt, although there are days when the thermometer rises to 40 degrees and above.

For example, the temperature record in Sousse is +48 degrees, in Hammamet +47 degrees. On the island of Djerba +48 degrees was recorded on July 29, 1982.

The hottest large Tunisian city is Tauzar, where on June 12, 1979, a temperature of +53 degrees was recorded. And in the vilayet (province) of Kebili, in some areas the thermometer rises to +55 degrees. We hope that none of the readers will experience such temperatures.

For average maximum daily temperatures, see the table below. Keep in mind that these are statistical averages.

The east coast (from the Gulf of Hammamet to the south) receives less rain than the north, and in the south, as it approaches the desert (from the Gulf of Gabes to the border with Libya), it rains less and less. The air temperature on the coast is about 16-18 °C in winter, and 31-35 °C in summer.

It all depends on the winds blowing from the sea or the Sahara. For example, the northern coast is often exposed to sea breezes, which cause a significant drop in temperature, reducing the heat in summer and bringing precipitation in winter. In the wind, you may not feel the power of the sun, and you can get sunburned very quickly. Therefore, while relaxing, do not forget to protect yourself from the sun's rays.

In the south of Tunisia, dry, hot winds blow across wide desert areas and plains. In spring and summer, this is the sirocco - a hot wind coming from the Sahara that can easily raise the air temperature above 40 °C.

Weather table in Tunisia by month

It is worth knowing the weather forecast in Tunisia in advance in order to plan a comfortable vacation. The weather table in Tunisia by month will help you get an idea of ​​what the weather is like here in different seasons.

The favorable season for a beach holiday lasts quite a long time, especially on the east coast, where the resorts are sheltered from the Atlantic influence. We recommend tourists to visit Tunisia from May to October. However, summer is not the best season to visit the Sahara due to very high temperatures during this time. A compromise between excursions and relaxation in the pool can be found in spring and autumn, i.e. in April and October.

Spring and autumn are also ideal times to visit local resorts: it is no longer as stuffy and hot as in summer, and the sea is quite warm. Winter is the ideal season for a tour to the south of the country (Zarzis). During these months, it is relatively warm during the day and fresh and cool at night. , located closer to the south of Tunisia, also offers a mild climate at this time of year, as do some other seaside resorts along the eastern coast (Hammamet, Sousse). The northern coast (Tabarca, Carthage), however, is more exposed to the cold climate that prevails in Europe and descends to the Mediterranean.
