Significant thunderstorms are predicted to impact several regions across Algeria, according to a special weather bulletin issued by the National Meteorology Office. The advisory, released on October 12, 2025, highlights the potential for substantial rainfall and associated risks in the affected areas.

The National Meteorology Office specifically identified the following provinces (Wilayas) as being at risk: Tissemsilt, Tamanrasset, In Salah, Chlef, Illizi, Ain Defla, Medea, and Bouira. The forecast indicates that the thunderstorms are expected to commence on Sunday, bringing with them the possibility of localized flooding, strong winds, and potential disruptions to daily life.

Residents in these areas are strongly advised to take necessary precautions to ensure their safety and minimize potential damage. This includes securing loose objects, avoiding unnecessary travel during periods of intense rainfall, and staying informed about the latest weather updates from official sources.

The thunderstorms are expected to be accompanied by considerable amounts of precipitation, raising concerns about potential flash flooding in low-lying areas and wadis. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution on the roads, as visibility may be significantly reduced due to heavy rain and strong winds. It is also advisable to avoid driving through flooded areas, as the depth and current of the water may be deceptive.

Agricultural communities in the affected regions are also advised to take steps to protect their crops and livestock from the adverse weather conditions. This may include moving animals to higher ground and implementing drainage measures to prevent waterlogging of fields.

The National Meteorology Office will continue to monitor the weather situation closely and issue updated advisories as needed. The public is encouraged to stay tuned to local news channels and the official website of the National Meteorology Office for the latest information and warnings. Staying informed and taking proactive measures are crucial for mitigating the potential impact of these thunderstorms and ensuring the safety of individuals and communities in the affected regions. The authorities are also prepared to respond to any emergencies that may arise as a result of the severe weather conditions.
