Check the live forecast above before you go, then pack for sun or showers depending on the season. Albania’s Mediterranean climate means hot, dry summers and mild, wet winters – a year-round destination if you pick the right months.
When is the best time to visit?
For beach weather, June to September is ideal – expect 30°C along the coast and clear skies. Shoulder months (May and October) are pleasant for sightseeing in Tirana or Durres, while March and April bring rain but greener landscapes. Winter (December–February) is quiet and cooler, with snow in the mountains.
What should I pack?
In summer: light cottons, swimwear, sunscreen and a hat. For spring and autumn: a waterproof jacket and layers – temperatures range 15–25°C. In winter: a warm coat for inland cities; coastal areas stay milder but can be wet. Sturdy shoes help if you’re hiking the Accursed Mountains.
Does Albania have a rainy season?
Yes, from October to March. Coastal cities like Durres and Saranda get frequent showers, while inland Tirana sees more rain in November and December. Summers are mostly dry.
What’s the weather like in the mountains?
In the Albanian Alps, summer days are warm (20–25°C) but nights cool. Winter snow can block passes from December to March. Spring and autumn offer the best hiking conditions.
