Several delegations of the Béja governorate reported, on the evening of Sunday, August 30, 2026, significant rainfall, sometimes heavy, after several days marked by a strong heatwave affecting several regions of the country.
According to the Tunisian Digital correspondent in the region, these weather disturbances were accompanied by thunderstorms, strong gusts of wind and hail in several localities.
Heavy rainfall after several days of heat
The precipitation recorded on Sunday evening affected several areas of the Béja governorate, with episodes sometimes intense over a short period.
These rains came after a spell of very hot weather affecting several Tunisian governorates over the past days, with temperatures particularly high.
Hail and strong gusts of wind
The disturbances were also marked by thunderstorm activity accompanied by strong winds and, in places, hail.
This rapid change in weather conditions thus marked the return of unstable weather in the Béja region after several days dominated by heat.
A decrease in the intensity of the heat
The rainfall helped to mitigate the effects of the heatwave and bring about a relative drop in temperatures in several areas of the governorate.
This development offered relief after several days of difficult weather conditions, notably due to the high temperatures recorded in different regions of the country.
Weather once again unstable
The rapid transition from very hot weather to stormy rains, accompanied by wind and hail, illustrates the meteorological instability observed in the region.
The situation remains to be monitored according to the evolution of atmospheric conditions and the possible formation of new local thunderstorm cells.
