Tunisia offers a Mediterranean climate with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. The live forecast above shows current conditions across the country, with coastal areas like Tunis and Hammamet typically a few degrees cooler than the interior.

What is the best time to visit Tunisia?

Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to October) give the most comfortable temperatures for exploring, with daytime highs between 22°C and 30°C along the coast. July and August push past 35°C in the capital and even higher inland, while winter (December to February) stays around 15–18°C in the north but cooler inland.

For beach holidays in Hammamet or Sousse, June through September offer sea temperatures above 22°C and reliable sunshine. If you’re checking weather in Tunisia 10 days ahead, the pattern is usually stable in summer but more variable in winter, when rain is concentrated between November and March.

How does the weather differ across Tunisia?

The north (Tunis, Bizerte) receives the most rainfall, while the south (Douz, Tozeur) is arid and desert-like. The coastal strip stays milder than the interior due to the Mediterranean breeze.

When looking at Marrakech Weather for comparison, note that Tunisia’s north is greener and cooler than inland Morocco. For those tracking tunisia weather 14 days or a tunisia weather 30 day forecast, the south is consistently drier and hotter year-round.

Is Tunisia humid or dry?

Coastal areas (Hammamet, Sousse) can feel humid in summer due to the Mediterranean, but humidity is rarely oppressive. Inland and the south are dry, especially from May to September, making the heat more tolerable than in tropical destinations.

Does Tunisia have a rainy season?
