The National Meteorological Institute (INM) placed several regions on yellow alert on Saturday due to expected weather disturbances. The affected governorates include:
- Kef
- Siliana
- Kairouan
- Kasserine
- Sidi Bouzid
- Sfax
- Gafsa
- Gabès
According to the INM, Saturday's weather is marked by the appearance of local thunderstorm cells, accompanied by:
- Sometimes intense rainfall
- Isolated hail showers
- Strong winds that can temporarily exceed 60 km/h, particularly in gusts and under thunderstorms
The yellow alert level implies a need for particular attention, especially for activities sensitive to weather conditions. It addresses both the general public and:
- Civil protection services
- Health authorities so that they can alert, mobilize, and prepare intervention teams and health structures.
The INM reminds us that the alert map is updated at least twice a day, at 7:00 AM and 5:00 PM, and allows for the reporting of meteorological dangers that may affect one or more governorates within the next 24 hours.
