The National Meteorology Institute (INM) announces a rainy-thundery episode starting on Saturday afternoon, November 7, 2026 and lasting until Sunday morning, November 8.
The eastern regions of the north and center will be the most affected, with occasionally heavy rains, hail, and strong gusts of wind as storm cells pass.
The essentials
• Start of the episode: Saturday, November 7 in the afternoon.
• Planned end: Sunday, November 8 in the morning.
• Highest totals between 30 and 50 mm in Zaghouan, Monastir, Mahdia and Sfax.
• Totals potentially reaching locally 70 mm in Nabeul and Sousse.
• Risk of hail and strong gusts of wind during the passage of the storm clouds.
According to the monitoring bulletin published by the INM, weather conditions will become favorable for temporarily stormy rainfall starting on Saturday afternoon. The episode will mainly affect the eastern areas of the north and center of the country.
These rains could be locally heavy, with intensities more marked in several governorates.
Between 30 and 50 mm in Zaghouan, Monastir, Mahdia and Sfax
The INM foresees that the highest totals will lie between 30 and 50 millimeters in the governorates of Zaghouan, Monastir, Mahdia and Sfax.
These are the maximum totals expected during the episode, and not a uniform amount across all of these governorates.
Up to 70 mm locally in Nabeul and Sousse
The highest amounts could be recorded locally in the governorates of Nabeul and Sousse, where totals could reach 70 millimeters.
The INM notes the local nature of these values: not all areas of Nabeul and Sousse will necessarily receive the same quantities.
Hail and strong gusts possible
The bulletin also signals a risk of hail and strong gusts of wind during the development of the storm clouds.
These phenomena may be intermittent but sometimes intense as the most active cells pass.
The episode is expected to continue until the morning of Sunday, November 8. The National Institute of Meteorology invites everyone to follow the evolution of weather conditions through its vigilance maps and updates.
