Tunis in February
Good time to visit
February offers the same winter advantages as January with slightly better weather. Still too cool for most outdoor activities but perfect for exploring indoor attractions.
Weather
February continues the cool, wet pattern with slightly warmer afternoons around 17°C. Mornings can still be quite cold at 8°C. Rain remains frequent, and humidity stays high from the Mediterranean influence.

All Months
March through May gives you perfect weather without the crowds. Temperatures hover around 22°C, jasmine blooms everywhere, and hotel prices haven't hit summer peaks yet. This is prime time for exploring the medina without melting.
September through November offers the same sweet spot. The Mediterranean stays warm enough for swimming, but the brutal summer heat breaks. October particularly shines — clear skies, comfortable evenings, and the harvest season brings fresh dates and olives to the markets.
Summer gets oppressive. July and August see temperatures pushing 35°C, and the medina becomes a furnace. But if you can handle the heat, accommodation costs drop and you'll have popular spots like the Bardo Museum to yourself.
Winter brings rain and surprisingly cold nights. December through February sees temperatures around 15°C, and many rooftop terraces close. But the medina's covered souks stay lively, and you'll pay rock-bottom prices for everything.
