While tornadoes are not a frequent weather event in Tunisia, they can occur, typically causing minimal damage and occurring outside of the global peak tornado season. The rarity of tornadoes in Tunisia means there is less detailed data on their frequency, timing, and intensity compared to regions more commonly affected by such weather phenomena.
There is limited detailed information on the strongest tornadoes in Tunisia, partly due to the rarity of such events and the country’s meteorological focus on more common weather challenges.
