Weather in Tunisia in January
January in Tunisia is cool outdoor weather: usable if you dress for it, not a beach brief.
A country pin in January is a warning: one region of Tunisia will not match another. Use a city page if you already know where you are going. January is the cold side of the year in Tunisia. Pack for that, not for a leftover summer photo.

What to expect
Daytime
Cool days in Tunisia: a jumper you can take off, a shell in the bag. Walking is fine. Lingering outside without a layer is optimism.
Mornings and evenings are colder than the postcard. Pack for both, especially if you leave the built-up centre.
Rain
Rain is not the story in Tunisia in January. Pack for sun. A shower would be news, not a plan.
Do not build the trip around weather windows. Build it around shade if it is hot, and around getting outside if it is not.
Evening
Evenings are cooler. A layer helps after sunset.
What to pack
A layer for cooler evenings
