Torrential rain and flooding slam Tunis, forcing schools to close

Torrential rains hit Tunis, leading to severe flooding that forced the closure of schools and disrupted daily life. The National Institute of Meteorology warned of up to 50 millimeters of rain in a short time, overwhelming drainage systems and causing roads to flood. Residents faced dangerous conditions as water covered streets, with cars and buses struggling to navigate. Power outages and internet disruptions occurred, and some homes were affected by floodwater. Social media footage showed power lines catching fire during the storm. This event comes after a summer of heatwaves and a history of flooding, including a deadly January incident where five people died due to record rainfall.
