Unstable weather patterns are forecast across Albania today, May 10, 2025, due to moist air masses from the southwest, with cloud build-ups and brief rain showers expected in eastern mountainous regions.

Unsettled Skies Over Albania as Moist Air Masses Dominate


Albania braces for a spell of atmospheric instability today, Saturday, May 10, 2025, as a surge of relatively humid air masses from the southwest sweeps across the nation. The Military Meteorological Service has issued a forecast highlighting varying weather conditions throughout the day, with localized rain showers and notable wind activity, especially in the country’s eastern highlands and along its coastal regions.

Morning Calm Gives Way to Cloud Build-Up and Showers


According to the Military Meteorological Service, the day will begin under mostly clear skies. However, atmospheric conditions are expected to evolve as the day progresses. Between noon and late afternoon, a mix of medium and occasionally dense cloud cover will develop—particularly pronounced over the mountainous and hilly landscapes in eastern Albania.

These shifting skies may give way to brief, weak, and localized rainfall in the eastern highlands during the afternoon hours. The weather service has stressed that these showers, while short-lived, could disrupt outdoor activities, especially in elevated terrain.

Winds Intensify Along Coasts and Valleys


A key feature of today’s weather forecast is the north-quadrant wind, which will dominate the air patterns across the country. The average wind speed is projected at around 8 meters per second. However, in valleys and along the coastal zones, gusts are expected to pick up noticeably—reaching speeds of 10 to 16 meters per second at times.

These winds will stir both the Adriatic and Ionian Seas, where wave heights are anticipated to reach force 1 to 3 on the Beaufort scale. Mariners and beachgoers are advised to exercise caution due to the choppy marine conditions.

Regional Outlook: Eastern Mountains in Focus


The eastern mountainous regions will bear the brunt of today’s atmospheric shifts. While rainfall is expected to remain light and scattered, the combination of wind, clouds, and moisture may reduce visibility and create brief periods of discomfort for travelers and residents in these areas.

Though the instability is relatively moderate, it marks a notable change from recent calmer weather trends, suggesting a potential shift in broader climatic conditions as spring continues to unfold.
