Today, Albania will be affected by hot and relatively stable air masses. Clear skies are expected across most of the country, while light to moderate cloud cover will develop from midday through the afternoon, mainly over mountainous areas in the south.

In the southeast, clouds may become denser for brief periods, but they will be temporary. Clear skies will return across the entire country in the afternoon.

Light, localized rainfall may occur in southern areas around midday and during the afternoon. Isolated, short-lived thunderstorms cannot be ruled out in mountainous areas.

Winds will blow from the northwest and northeast at an average speed of 7 m/s. At times, they are expected to strengthen to 14 m/s along the coast and in valley areas. Waves at sea are forecast to reach force 1-3.

Climate change caused by human activity has worsened drought conditions in Europe. An international team of researchers said on Thursday that the main factor behind the exceptionally dry conditions is extreme heat rather than a lack of rainfall.

A study by the World Weather Attribution group found that today’s warmer climate has increased the rate at which European soils, lakes and rivers lose moisture, making drought more likely.

Drought is affecting many European countries this summer. France could record its lowest corn production in 50 years, while Romania has imposed restrictions on farmers’ access to irrigation water. The Netherlands announced last week that it was facing water shortages, while seven Greek islands have declared a state of emergency due to drought in an effort to preserve water reserves.

One of the researchers stressed that the threat of drought is also increasing in areas where rainfall levels have changed little or where, depending on the season, they are projected to rise.

Zachariah, of Imperial College London, told international media reporters that, overall, the results show that this drought is not primarily linked to low rainfall. According to him, the cause is a warmer atmosphere, which is creating greater soil moisture deficits.

The World Weather Attribution study also found that, compared with a world without climate change, exceptionally dry soils are now five times more likely in Western Europe and 11 times more likely in Eastern Europe.
