Tunisia is currently experiencing a prolonged and intense heatwave, with the National Institute of Meteorology (INM) forecasting temperatures reaching a scorching 49°C. The heat is affecting most of the country and is expected to peak tomorrow. This surge in temperatures will be accompanied by the Sirocco wind, exacerbating the already challenging conditions. Authorities have not yet issued specific warnings beyond the forecast, but residents are advised to take precautions against heatstroke and dehydration. The extreme heat poses risks to public health and could potentially impact agriculture. This heatwave is particularly concerning as it continues a trend of increasingly frequent and severe weather events.
