When does the school year start in Tunisia? Holiday seasons - when is the best time to go to Tunisia? Velvet season in Tunisia
The season in Tunisia - we consider it by months and put it on the shelves: when, where and how much to count (moreover, both in rubles and in degrees Celsius).
We tell you what the difference is between “when it’s cheaper” and “when it’s better” to go on vacation to Tunisia.
The tourist season for recreation in all its manifestations in Tunisia continues May to October when charters from Russian cities are actively flying. In other months, the resorts of Tunisia freeze, fall into suspended animation and become noticeably cheaper. In general, in winter people come here to breathe in the sea and for spa treatments.
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). July and August can scare vacationers away with dry heat and jellyfish. But in September the influx of tourists will repeat - the velvet season is coming.
The off-season in Tunisia, as probably everywhere else, is the best time to "ride and see". Love excursions - arrive in early spring or late autumn. And another important point: Tunisian resorts stretch along the coast from north to south of the country. And in the same month different places the climate may differ (as well as the concepts of season / off-season).
In order not to confuse anything, our table by months:
| Jan | Feb | March | Apr | May | June | July | Aug | sen | Oct | But I | Dec | |
| All Tunisia | - | - | - | - | +/- | + | + | + | + | + | - | - |

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 low season people come and fly here 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°С. 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°C. 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.
- beach season in Tunisia you are not interested, 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:
- Cape Angela is the northernmost point of the African continent, the most convenient way to get there is from Bizerte. AND better in spring(because it's prettier).
- 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.
- 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?
- Of course, the village of Tatooine! About it, too, is in any brochure. But I'm a fan" star wars", so forgive me. You must definitely go there!
- 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.
And the best thalassotherapy in the world.

Summer is the peak of tourist popularity. September-October is a velvety season, very pleasant and comfortable water temperature + 24-27 and the same air temperature. October-December is a rainy period. Then the precipitation goes down, the temperature rises from +15-17 in January to +22-25 in April. But in March it is still possible to catch heavy rains. In April, they will be halved.
Mahdia
A pleasant, quiet place to relax with sandy beaches and clear sea. Families with children would be great here. To make the children feel comfortable, it is better to come here with them from the end of June to August. During these months, the sea is guaranteed to be warm. Adults can start swimming in May, when the water temperature rises to +20 degrees. Of course, every year can be different. But in Mahdia, the sea warms up faster than in the north of the country.
The rainiest time is October-December and February-March. The air temperature does not drop below +12-15, and the sea temperature is below +13-14 degrees even in winter. But in the presence of rains and winds, the situation may not be very comfortable.
Gabes
A town on the coast of a huge bay that juts out into the interior of the country. It is warmest here on the coast. Little precipitation even in autumn and winter months. The air temperature in winter is +15-17, in summer +33-36 degrees Celsius. You can safely swim in the sea from May to November, even in April the water temperature tends to reach +20.
You can come here at any time of the year in order to breathe in the sea air and go on excursions. Just need to take into account weather in the regions where you are going to travel. Perhaps it is better to refrain from traveling inland during the summer months. Desert areas get very warm and for young children, the elderly, and those who can't stand the heat, it can be an unpleasant ordeal.
A very comfortable place to stay. Here you can find mostly upscale hotels, excellent SPA, golf courses, ancient buildings, fortresses. There are flamingos here. From here you can easily get to the center of the country and see a lot of interesting things.
The temperature in summer is never higher than + 33-35. A pleasant breeze blows here, which does not allow the air to overheat. You can swim from May to November, but in November heavy precipitation begins, which cools the air to +20-23, but the sea remains quite warm - about +22. In winter, as elsewhere in Tunisia, it is cool - + 15-17, the sea is about +15 degrees.
Douz
They don't come here for seaside vacation. It's a place in the interior of the country called "Gateway to the Sahara". It is popular with group tourists and individuals who independently travel around the country.
The climate here is more continental. Winter is colder than on the coast + 7-9, and in summer the air warms up above + 31-35. But the absence of a breeze and the proximity of the sea creates hotter and harsh conditions. It is better not to come here in the summer months for those who do not tolerate the heat. March and November are rich in rainfall. At the same time, there are 1.5-2 times less of them here than on the coast.
Tunisia - unique country, including climatic conditions. Everything is collected here - from cypress groves to scorched salt marshes, from desert landscapes to sandy spits protruding into the sea. Arriving here, you certainly will not regret the time and money spent. We hope that our article will help you decide on the time and place of rest in Tunisia.
Most tourists believe that since Tunisia is Africa, it means that it is always hot there and you can go on vacation at any time of the year, such as Egypt. However, with Tunisia the situation is somewhat different. It really belongs to Africa, but you can not swim and sunbathe at any time, the reason is geographical location and Mediterranean climate. I'll tell you what happens in Tunisia with the weather every month. But my personal opinion is that this country, from the point of view of beach tourism, is best suited in summer, at any other time of the year, you can seriously miscalculate the weather and at least be upset for ruining your vacation.
Map of Tunisia.
Weather in Tunisia in January.
At this time it is very cold here, the daytime air temperature is only about +14 degrees, about the same in the sea. The nights are cold +8. If you decide to come to Tunisia at this time, be sure to take warm clothes with you, sweaters, jackets, there can be no question of any tan. However, January can be used as a thalassotherapy and excursions, at this time the prices for hotels and services drop quite a lot and you can save a lot on what tourists will pay many times more for in summer. I would like to note that on new year holidays hotels are not very impudent in comparison with other countries.
Weather in Tunisia in February.
February is the rainiest month in Tunisia, besides, strong winds begin here and the humidity level reaches 76%.
