Season kicks off in Tunisia in June: the air temperature at the end reaches + 30 ° С, the water temperature reaches + 23.5 ° С (the exception is the island of Djerba, everything is + 26 ° С there).

Weather in Tunisia by months - 2019

The weather in Tunisia is almost African. Almost - because the nights can be cool and the heat is easier to bear than tourists imagine. All because of the winds blowing either from the neighboring Sahara or from the sea. It is they who “smooth out” the summer heat (the main thing is not to burn out under such a breeze) and cool the night air. And the rainy season, on the contrary, makes it especially dank.

So, we analyze each season in Tunisia by months, weather surprises and comfort level.

Tunisia in March, April and May

Tunisia blooms in spring: spring is spring in Africa too!

In March winter rains can still fall on the heads of casual vacationers. The air temperature fluctuates indefinitely from +15°С to +25°С (5-10 degrees lower at night). It is not worth even stuttering about the water temperature yet (+15 ° С, for those who are interested).

Tunisia in June, July and August

Tunisia in September, October and November

Tunisia in December, January and February

The weather in winter in Tunisia is quite mild. Yes, it rains, but they are still replaced by a bright sun, which sometimes warms up to +17°C. In general, Tunisia in winter turns into a world (I'm not afraid of this word) health resort: in the low season people come here and fly for the sake of thalasso-therapy centers.

In December it's not very rainy yet. On New Year's Eve (read: almost the whole of December), "winter" hotels lure you with discounts, and tour guides drop the price tag from $120 for the popular Sahara to $100.

In January Tunisia floods, the rainy season is in full swing. Only 10-12 bad weather days per month. The air temperature is comparable to December, +13°C. Strange, but almond trees begin to bloom, and citrus fruits ripen. By the way, even in early January there are tours to Tunisia from Moscow. And people are driving!

In February warms up to +16°С. There are fewer rainy days, especially in the south of the country. Tunisia is preparing for the arrival of spring. And new tourists.

When is the best time to visit Tunisia?

To decide when is the best time to go, answer yourself: why are you going to Tunisia?

• Wanna catch holiday season and come off to the fullest? Then tune in summer months(preferably June), end of May or beginning of September. The weather won't let you down. Personally for me best month for holidays in Tunisia - September!
• Do you dream of putting another tick on the world map “I was here, I saw it”? Can't wait until you personally photograph all the ruins, see a live camel and bring 100,500 souvenirs? Then welcome to Tunisia in April or October. This is the most suitable period for excursions. And traders in local markets are more accommodating at this time.
• The beach season in Tunisia does not interest you, do you just want to relax your body and soul, smeared with life-giving mud? Come winter. When does it end good weather, and the rains disperse the numbers of late bathers, it's time for complete relaxation

What to see in Tunisia?

Take any booklet guide to Tunisia, and you will immediately be offered excursions to the ruins of Carthage, sent on a quad bike trip across the Sahara or there on camels to meet the dawn ($120 for two days, as already mentioned).

But Tunisia does not stop there. Therefore, for you, my personal selection of attractions:

1. Cape Angela is the northernmost point of the African continent, the most convenient way to get there is from Bizerte. And it's better in spring (because it's more beautiful).
2. Lake Chott el Jerid is a salty lake with red-violet water and mirages. Located in the central part of the country. Visit in the summer, when the drying water creates those same mirages.
3. Natural Park "Ishkel" - the lake of the same name in the park is fed by hot mineral springs, in which you can dive for 20 minutes. Why not an addition to the resort SPA?
4. Of course, the village of Tatooine! About it, too, is in any brochure. But I'm a Star Wars fan, so forgive me. You must definitely go there!
5. Zaghouan Park at the foot of the Zaghouan Mountains. In addition to the mountains themselves, people go there to see the Temple of Water, from which the ancient water supply system of local cities began.

Tunisia welcomes guests all year round, although in winter the Mediterranean Sea is unsuitable for swimming. But, otherwise, winter in Tunisia is a good time to relax.

So choosing when to go on vacation to Tunisia can be difficult. Especially if you are focused not only on a beach holiday. If you choose when to fly to Tunisia for thalassotherapy, then you can safely plan a trip for any time of the year. After all, the work of thalassotherapy centers does not depend on the weather outside the treatment rooms.

And if you choose when to go to Tunisia for sightseeing, then early spring fit best. After all, then you can even get out into the Sahara without the sweltering heat. In addition, at the beginning of spring there is still a low season in Tunisia. During this time prices are slightly lower. But in the midst of summer high season in Tunisia, prices for holidays rise very, very much.

Help you decide when to go to Tunisia for your holiday.

​

Tunisia- a hot African country, which will appeal to lovers of different types of recreation: exotic, beach, active, sightseeing. In addition, you can combine entertainment and thalassotherapy treatments aimed at promoting health.

When best time to visit Tunisia? First of all, it is worth noting that, with some reservations, the tourist season lasts all year round in this country: there is no such time when it would not be worth relaxing in Tunisia at all, but some nuances still need to be discussed.

The country is in the zone subtropical climate, which is influenced by the Mediterranean Sea in the north and the Sahara in the south. In general, it can be said that the climate is characterized by hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters.

The best time to travel to this North African country is June to November when the most high temperatures. This time is ideal for a beach holiday, and thanks to high humidity Tunisian heat is easily tolerated. The thermometer reaches its maximum in the summer months, especially in August, as a result of which this time is suitable only for a beach holiday: in this heat it is better to spend more time on the beach, moreover, in the shade. In July and August, it is not recommended to make excursions to ancient places and, in particular, to the Sahara. The average daily temperature in August is +32°C, while the water warms up, on average, to +25°C.

But autumn and spring, on the contrary, are perfect for an exciting trip around the country. During these months, set optimum temperature in order to go on a tour of the Sahara or visit the ruins of ancient cities. It is worth noting that if in autumn the water in the Mediterranean Sea has already warmed up over the summer and is quite suitable for swimming, then in the spring it is not recommended to swim, at least too much. But you can perfectly sunbathe on the beach.

Regarding autumn and spring, it must be added that at this time there is a large temperature difference between day and night. If you are going to go on a long journey through the expanses of the Sahara, then be sure to take warm clothes with you: it is quite cool here at night.

In winter, the country becomes a little cool, although the air temperature still rarely drops below +20°C. In the period from November to March, trips to this country are in little demand, so you can relax here cheaper than during the peak tourist season. Of course, this does not apply to the end of December - the beginning of January - the time of Christmas and new year holidays, school holidays. In winter, you can make excursions to places of antiquity, see the cultural sights of Tunisia. The desert is cool at night, so traveling in the Sahara is not recommended.

Since with different parties the climate of Tunisia is influenced by the Sahara and the Mediterranean Sea, it is these factors that determine rainfall which are generally unevenly distributed. In the northern mountainous regions there is a sufficient amount of rain, and, as a rule, they characterize the winter season - the summer here is ideal: hot and dry. And if we talk about southern regions countries, in these places there is often a lack of moisture.

Summing up, let's say again that in Tunisia you can have a great vacation at any time of the year, but the peak of the tourist season is in the summer and early autumn - like in all Mediterranean resorts. In spring and autumn, you can relax in Tunisia quite comfortably, but insufficiently warm spring water is not suitable for everyone. Already in April average temperature water is +18°C, in May - about +20°C.
