Hammamet in March
Good time to visit
March brings spring energy and the first major cultural events of the year. Weather becomes genuinely pleasant for walking tours, though you'll still need a light sweater for evenings.
Weather
March marks the beginning of spring with noticeably warmer afternoons and fewer rainy days. Expect around 6 days of rain, often brief showers rather than all-day affairs. Humidity starts dropping to a more comfortable 60-65% as the season shifts.

All Months
April through June gives you perfect weather without the crowds. Temperatures hover around 22-26°C, the sea is swimmable, and hotel prices haven't hit peak season yet. The jasmine blooms in May, filling the medina with that signature scent.
September through November works just as well. The sea stays warm from summer heating, crowds thin out after European school holidays end, and you'll actually get tables at popular restaurants without waiting. October is particularly sweet - warm days, cool evenings, and the light gets that golden Mediterranean quality.
Summer (July-August) brings heat that can hit 35°C and humidity that makes walking the medina feel like a sauna. But if you're here for pure beach time and don't mind crowds, the atmosphere gets lively with festivals and late-night cafe culture.
Winter isn't terrible - daytime temperatures around 16°C and plenty of sunny days. But many beachfront restaurants close, and the Mediterranean can look pretty grey and uninviting. Good for budget travelers who don't mind cooler weather.
