Cloudy and rainy weather have accompanied citizens of Albania during the last couple of days, but the sun will shine and everything will feel like summer again soon, as meteorologist Hakil Osmani has revealed on Sunday.

This information was released by Osmani after the Institute of Geosciences, Energy, Water and Environment (IGJEUM) forecasted that local rainfall, which can be associated with short-term floods and electrical discharges mainly in mountainous areas would dominate Albania for 5 days.

"At noon, the rain has intensified, bringing high intensity rainfall, causing the rain to be present until 7 o'clock in the evening, then we expect an improvement.

The beginning of the week remains in the predominance of frequent eclipses that generate rainfall, but in small quantities.

The weather is expected to improve during the evening on Tuesday and in the following, clearings will be dominant in the coastal and lowland areas, while from time to time, we will have clouds in the mountainous areas, risking some rain.

Fortunately, the precipitation will be in small quantities, and it is not that we will have problems like the ones that Central Europe experienced a few days ago", said Osmani.

On July 16, the Ministry of Defense has indirectly urged Friday the citizens to not panic, because “the situation expected in our country is normal for the type of thunderstorms in the hot season and bears no resemblance to the catastrophic situation which passed in European countries”, based on the above forecast by the IGJEUM.

“Assessing the situation in Southeast Europe and the information received on the impact that weather conditions may have in other countries nearby, the Institute of Geosciences, Energy, Water and Environment announces that during the next 5 days in Albania a weather with local rainfall is forecast which may be with short floods and electrical discharges mainly in mountainous areas.

We emphasize that the situation expected in our country is normal for the type of thunderstorms in the hot season and bears no resemblance to the catastrophic situation which passed in European countries.

For the best possible management of any possible emergency situation that may come as a result of unfavorable weather conditions, the Ministry of Defense and the National Civil Protection Agency will coordinate and coordinate all phases for coping with civil emergencies”, highlighted the Defence department of the Albanian Government on Friday.
