Albania’s weather ranges from Mediterranean warmth on the coast to colder, snowier conditions inland and in the mountains. The live forecast above gives current conditions across the country, including in Tirana and Durres.
What is the climate like in Albania?
Albania has a Mediterranean climate along its Adriatic and Ionian coasts, with hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters. Inland, especially in the north and east, the climate becomes more continental, with colder winters and significant snowfall in the Albanian Alps. The capital, Tirana, sits in the western lowlands and experiences a typical Mediterranean pattern. For a detailed look at conditions elsewhere in the UK, see our UK weather hub.
When is the best time to visit?
For beach holidays on the coast, June to September offers the warmest weather and least rain. Spring (April–May) and autumn (September–October) are milder and ideal for hiking or exploring cities like Durres. Winter (December–February) brings cooler temperatures, especially inland, with January being the coldest month. To plan ahead, check the 10 day weather forecast UK for comparison.
