Tunis in September
Great time to visit
September marks the return of civilized weather. Still warm but no longer brutal – a great time to visit as summer crowds begin to fade.
Weather
September brings blessed relief with more comfortable 28°C days and pleasant 20°C evenings. Rain remains virtually absent, but the oppressive humidity starts to ease. Sea breezes become refreshing rather than hot.

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.
