Tunisia-Rhaili: “Climate forecasts indicate temperatures during summer will be at or above average of last year” [Video]

Speaking to Tunisie Numérique,expert in climate and water resources, Hussein Rhaili, declared today, Friday, April 26, 2024, that climate shifts impact weather forecasts greatly and directly, adding that since the year 2015, the climate equations have varied and Tunisia has entered the phase of extreme manifestations of climate shifts, which has produced these weather fluctuations that we are seeing in various countries..

He noted that these changes are related to the regional and international climate and the movement of seas and oceans, resulting in unusual weather changes, such as registering high temperatures of about 35 degrees in southern Tunisia during the last two weeks of last March. In contrast to an apparent decline in temperatures and record amounts of rainfall during the recent period.

Our speaker also underlined that all climate forecasts indicate that temperatures during the summer will be at or above the average of last year, which raises issues regarding water supply resources, particularly in light of the major change in the rain distribution map in Tunisia, which has left a shortage of water resources in the dams.
