Temperatures were bearable, but rain often put a damper on our outdoor plans. Meanwhile, the night radiated spiritual chill.
Sometimes there are short showers, but generally the weather is stable. Very nice!
Lots of sunshine every day and a little rain, but that didn't spoil the fun. Too warm for a sweater, but at night a light jacket was sometimes nice.
There can be cold winds and it rains often. But there are also sunny days. Again, suitable for people who do not like heat.
The locals warn about high temperatures, but it was very pleasant. Bright blue skies and sunshine were our daily pleasure. There was almost no rain.
During my stay, the weather fluctuated between sunny days and periods of rain. It was generally mild during the day, but it could get considerably colder at night. Don't forget to bring your jacket!
Sunny days, however, were pleasant and warm.
Pleasant for sunbathers, but sometimes too hot to walk comfortably. Cool evenings, however, make it even more pleasant.
May in Tirana proved to be the perfect time to relax. The sun shone almost every day and the temperature was a pleasant 25°C. A few showers brought some refreshment, but not enough to thwart plans. A treat for lovers of warm weather!
