According to meteorological forecasts, Monday will record maximum temperatures of 40-41°C, while on Tuesday the thermometer could climb to 41-42°C, with local values that may even touch 43°C. Wednesday will also remain under the influence of the intense heat.

However, from Thursday, July 23, forecasters predict a change in the atmospheric situation. The penetration of cooler air masses is expected to bring a drop in temperatures, while in some areas of the southwestern Balkans there may be rain showers and isolated storms.

Europe is experiencing one of the hottest summers in recent years. Record temperatures have particularly hit the countries of the region, while since June it is reported that over 12,000 people have lost their lives on the continent as a result of extreme heatwaves.

According to the Institute’s recommendations, people should drink water continuously, while sugary drinks and alcohol should be avoided. Citizens are also advised not to expose themselves to the sun during the hottest part of the day, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and to stay in cool or shaded areas.

NIPH advises wearing light, cotton and light-coloured clothing. Special attention is required for elderly people, who are considered more vulnerable to high temperatures.

The Institute reiterated that children should not be left in vehicles, even for a few minutes, as the temperature inside a car can rise rapidly and pose a serious risk to life.

Other recommendations include regular hydration, using sunscreen, and covering the head and protecting the eyes with a hat or sunglasses. NIPH urges citizens to watch for signs of heatstroke, including fatigue, dizziness and headaches. If a person’s health condition worsens, medical help should be sought immediately.

According to the Military Meteorological Service forecast, the weather will be mostly clear throughout the day.

Few to moderate clouds will appear in the mountainous areas of the north and northeast, where isolated rainfall may occur.

Maximum temperatures will reach 39°C in Berat, Gjirokastër, Lezhë, Shkodër and Tirana. Temperatures of 38°C are expected in Elbasan and Sarandë, while Fier and Vlorë will see 37°C.

Korçë and Bulqizë will record the lowest maximum temperatures, reaching up to 34°C.

The wind will blow from the northwest-west, at an average speed of around 7 metres per second.

Along the southern coast, it is expected to strengthen at times to up to 14 metres per second.

Low waves are forecast at sea, with a force of 1 to 2 on the Beaufort scale.

Here is what the temperatures will be:

Minimum temperatures will range from 16°C in Korçë and Bulqizë to 22°C in Lezhë, while maximums will vary from 31°C in Korçë to 37°C in Elbasan, Berat, and Gjirokastër.

In Tirana, the thermometer is expected to show from 20°C in the morning to 36°C during midday.

In Durrës and Shkodër, maximum temperatures will reach 35°C, in Fier 36°C, while in Vlorë and Sarandë respectively 34°C and 35°C.

The wind will blow mainly from the northwest-northeast, with an average speed of around 9 m/s. Occasionally, along the coastline and valley areas, the wind is expected to gain intensity, reaching speeds up to 18 m/s.

As for the sea, wave height in the Adriatic and Ionian will be force 2 to 4 Beaufort.

According to the forecast, a few passing clouds are expected during the midday hours.

The wind will blow mainly from the northwest, with an average speed of around 7 m/s, while in coastal areas the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea will be calm, with wave strength of 1-2 Beaufort.

Here is how temperatures will be:

The heatwave will continue through the weekend, while temperatures are expected to rise further in the middle of next week.

“Our country will be affected by stable atmospheric conditions, for today, the weekend, and also the start of next week. Clear weather is forecast across the entire territory, with many hours of sunshine.

Temperatures during the midday hours will reach values of 36-38 degrees Celsius. Morning temperatures will also gradually increase and, from 19-22 degrees Celsius, will rise to values of 22-24 degrees Celsius.

Due to the penetration of the African anticyclone, starting from Wednesday or Thursday of next week, we are expected to see a further increase in temperatures, up to 39 or 40 degrees Celsius.

As for the wind, it will blow lightly. On Monday and Tuesday, stronger winds are expected, with speeds of 10 m/s to 20 m/s along coastal and valley areas,” said weather forecaster Elvi Jaha.

The post Heatwave to continue through the weekend, how high temperatures are expected to rise in the coming days appeared first on Albeu.com.

“Tirana recorded 40.1 degrees, Shkodra exceeded 41 degrees, and in fact these belong to the month of June, but we expect not only 41 but more than 41 during the month we have just entered, July.

July is expected to be considerably more scorching than June. We expect 41-42 degrees during July, but the intensity could be high, so thermal values could reach 42.5 or 43,” Porja said.

According to her, the cooler weather that began in the first days of July will last only a few days, with maximum temperatures of 34-36°C across most of the country.

However, after July 7, a new heat wave is expected, caused by the penetration of very hot air masses from North Africa.

“As for the first July heat wave that we expect in a few days, from July 7 or beyond July 7 and onward, we expect another heat wave, which has shown signs of being of higher intensity, which means there is an inflow, a penetration of the hot air mass from North Africa much farther than the Balkans. It will go all the way up into northeastern Europe, and the farther this extremely hot air mass rises toward northeastern Europe, the more problematic it will be for Albania and for the Balkans. This will cause temperatures typical of North Africa to be recorded in southern Italy, Greece, Turkey, on these Mediterranean islands, and consequently also in Albanian territory,” the meteorologist said.

Porja also explained that, unlike the long June heat wave, which exerted continuous thermal stress on the body, the first heat wave of July is expected to be more intense but of shorter duration, around 4-5 days.

The meteorologist warned that high temperatures will favor the formation of local storms with intense rainfall, hail, and strong winds, especially in mountainous and hilly areas, also risking damage to agricultural crops.

She stressed that high air humidity will make the heat feel even heavier, significantly increasing the perceived temperature.

According to Porja, the most favorable climate conditions for summer holidays remain mountain and lakeside areas, especially Pogradec and Puka.

According to forecasts, August is also expected to be very hot, while above-normal temperatures may continue during the first 10 days of October as well.
