May weather forecast
Albania

May, the last month of spring in Albania, brings in increasingly warmer temperatures, a significant drop in rainfall, and a bloom of flora across the country.

The coastal areas, encompassing cities such as Durrës and Vlorë, embrace the pre-summer warmth during May. Average temperatures in these regions hover between 15°C (59°F) and 24°C (75.2°F), making it an excellent time for outdoor activities and early beach visits. Precipitation levels decrease further, yielding to an increased number of sunny days.

In contrast, the inland regions, including Tirana and Korçë, experience a wider temperature range, typically from 13°C (55.4°F) to 24°C (75.2°F). The highland areas have finally shed the last remnants of winter, with green landscapes replacing the snow-capped peaks. The lower precipitation levels also contribute to the overall pleasant climate, encouraging exploration of Albania's interior landscapes.

Looking forward to June, the transition to summer is complete. Average temperatures rise markedly, particularly in the coastal regions, while precipitation continues to decrease. The longer daylight hours also enhance the appeal of June, providing ample time to enjoy the Albanian outdoors.
